After growing S&B Foods' potted herb, Topping Basil, in a No. 5 pot for a week, the initial investment came to approximately ¥1,078. This article highlights the plant's growth and ways to use it.
S&B Foods has launched Topping Basil, a potted herb in its new line of potted herbs, in a No. 5 pot, and currently offers several varieties in pots of different sizes. The products are sold mainly at home improvement stores and garden centers, and the line was launched in 2022. The plant purchased for this article came in a No. 5 pot approximately 14.5 cm in diameter, and was introduced as a variety with small leaves that grows in a dome shape. Availability is limited by region, and the product was confirmed to be sold at some Kohnan stores.
After watering the plant for approximately one week and otherwise leaving it unattended, the writer observed that the leaves changed orientation in response to the direction of sunlight, and noted that the pot should be rotated to prevent uneven exposure. The initial leaves were harvested and sampled in a pinchos-style serving with Genovese sauce. The plant was characterized by a refreshing flavor without bitterness or astringency. Its greatest advantage was emphasized as its ability to continue producing harvests over an extended period.
