Description
Basil is a member of the large mint (lamiaceae) family. The Greeks reered it as the King of Herbs, deriving its name from the Greek word basilikon ('King'). However, it is believed that basil originated from India, where it slowly spread to Egypt, Rome and eventually to all corners of the globe.
Over time, basil has become a staple in many cuisines, particularly Asian and Mediterranean cooking. This herb is exceptional when added to tomato sauces, cold pasta salads, grilled fish, salad dressings, and roasted chickeh. Just remember to add it at the start of cooking so it has time to infuse with other ingredients.
