Hello Friends!
Following my series on plants and herbs that I have in my house (You can see the previous post in this link), today I will present and talk about the Basil.
This herb I always use for seasoning meat, sometimes I also use for seasoning the beans, rice and pasta. It is a delight. In addition to taste, basil has plenty of health benefits, I quote below some of them:
- Antibacterial properties. Basil protects the body against bacterial attacks. It contains oils that help prevent bacterial infections.
- Great for the heart. Basil contains magnesium, which helps to improve blood flow. It also contains antioxidants that help lower cholesterol.
- It is a great remedy against colds and flu. Its leaves contain vitamin C, which prevents infections like coughs and sore throat.
- It is also a great remedy to speed up memory. Help in triggering brain circulation, reducing brain damage. Helps strengthen the nervous system and relieves stress.
I hope you have enjoyed and that I helped someone with this information. Don't forget when you go to market to buy herbs or vegetables to your home to include basil in your food. The benefits are immense!

Basil is super delicious and super healing! We grow 7 different kinds of basil; the lemon thai comes up like weeds all over the property. We enjoy a lot of pesto!!

Nice! I've only grown 3 kinds of basil but I do recommend you try topping your basil, it'll stay alive way longer and it grants you more harvest!
