About African Tree, Nunum
A huge-leaved basil with a slightly spicy oregano taste. Makes great pesto and is delicious in salads, soups, pastas, vinegars, and jellies as well as in many African and Asian dishes. Used in traditional medicine as well as cooking. Known as clove basil in the East Indies and scent-leaf in parts of Africa. "Nunum" is its common name in Ghana.
