BASIL

Fragrant basil is one of your favorite spices: Italian's most famous, Thai has the taste of Negro candy. Basil, one of our favorite spice plants, is also grown in our area, and is a favorite addition to many dishes that give it a specific taste and aroma.

In our area, three types of basil are most commonly available - Italian (large-leaved), Greek (fine-grained, more potent aromas) and Thai basil, which has a characteristic taste and resembles Negro candy.

Basil

The word basil (basilico, basil) comes from the Greek word "basilicon" ("royal"), which describes the relationship of ancient cultures to this plant.

The Romans regarded the basil as a symbol of love and devotion, and in India it was cultivated as a symbol of welcome. In addition to cooking, some types of basil have been used in the treatment of many diseases such as asthma, diabetes, infertility, impotence, kidney stones and various allergies.

Basil has a beneficial effect on the immune system, is a powerful antioxidant, has antibacterial properties, strengthens the immune system, prevents oxidation of cholesterol, protects the heart and blood vessels, helps fight infections and reduces inflammation in the body.

Basil as a plant is not at all demanding to maintain, but since it must have light and heat, it, like most similar plants, cannot be kept at home, it must be outside.

"We often watch those culinary shows where the pots in the kitchen pick up some spice, however, it's just for show purposes. Otherwise, all these plants are outdoor plants, some are perennial and some seasonal," in whose garden there are herbs such as basil, five types of mint, thyme, rosemary, oregano, sage, parsley, dill, coriander, chives, and there are lavender, tomato seedlings, cucumbers, watermelon (alpine, wild strawberry), guardian and many others, all grown organically.

"Perennials include: thyme, sage, rosemary, lavender, mint, chives ... and the most popular of all spices are basil, mint and chives.
