Basil

That sweet smell…. That amazing pinch of it to your favourite pasta… pizza or salad or dressing, or give it a twist to a drink… hmmm yum! One of my all time favourite herb!

I honestly can’t imagine my kitchen without this herb.
And did you know that basil is part of mint family? And it is also one of the most known herb across the whole world with many believes to be known for more then 5000 years. Now is that true? Nobody knows… so we shall leave that :)

There is also between 50 to 150 different species of basil, which includes:

• Purple Basil - similar to normal basil with a bit of more of the earthy taste and that lovely colour :)

• Lemon Basil - lemon and freshness

• Cinnamon Basil - lovely cinnamon finish

• Thai Basil - typical star anise taste

• Greek Basil - small leaves with A very similar but strong taste like the normal basil

Worth mentioning is also fact that basil can be dried as well however it’s the fresh version that is used the most.

I think there is nothing else to mention guys! Time to start cooking ;)
