• Dark Opal or purple basil, Both fresh and dry we can use this aromatic herb in soups, salads, purées, sauces, vinaigrettes, meats, fish and even desserts. Very similar in flavor to regular basil, but with hints of more exotic anise and ginger. The leaves range from green to deep purple, and sometimes both.
