But what about store bought cooked vs. homegrown cooked. I can't
remember a difference like I can fresh. Can You?

lol Ever made pesto using fresh basil etc.? ;-d

oh my, the basic start for my world famous sketti sauce

Shirley, you're kidding. It's best if you can make it with just the
flowers.

I was wondering if I could use the flowers for anything.
(was remiss and they got away from me, turns out my lucky day?

Just as good is pesto made the same way but with cilantro.
Hmmmmmmm, hmm, hmm.

I planted cilantro, doesn't mean I can claim success of growing it
but "next year" the gardener says

Since, when I have grown it, I try to extend the life of my Basil
plants, I DO snip the flowers and use them. They are quite tasty!

Same goes for dittany blossoms.
(Dittany of Crete blooms profusely but is a perennial).
