Can I Feed my sulcata fresh basil

[Karatemom]

I got this african spurred tortoise from a friend of mine. I am very new to having a tortoise. I am constantly wondering what is good to feed my tortoise. I have a frwsh basil plant and was wondering if it's ok for them to eat. Aslo, if you guys could maybe give me a list of good foods for my tortoise to eat.
Thanks.

Mine won't touch the basil. To bitter maybe. Above there's a list of foods.

Tortoisetable.org is a good reference for plants. If he came across basil and ate some, it wouldn't hurt.
