This fragrant herb serves as a beautiful, tasteful and healthful addition to the food you prepare.
Basil is an abundant source of Vitamin K and contains trace sources of other vitamins and minerals like Vitamin A, Iron, and Manganese.
This low-cal pop of flavor also provides flavanoids which protect our cell membranes along with “volatile oils” which fight unwanted bacterial growth.
Grow and harvest fresh basil leaves or purchase at your local food store!
You can toss into a garden salad, layer into a sandwich, or chop and sprinkle over your favorite pastas and sauces. Pour some ice water over basil leaves and garnish with a lemon for a rejuvenating, cleansing drink.
Incorporate this herb into your life for some flavoring accompanied with undeniable health benefits. NB
