Basil is a fantastic herb that can be grown equally well indoors and outdoors, offering a fresh and vibrant
flavour to a wide range of dishes.  Basil is a culinary herb of the family Lamiaceae (mints). The name ‘basil’ comes from Latin, Basilius. Basil is most commonly used fresh in recipes. In general, it is added at
the last moment, as cooking quickly destroys the flavor. The fresh herb can be kept for a  short time in plastic bags in the refrigerator, or for a longer period in the freezer, after being blanched quickly in boiling water. Here we offer you some simple recipes using basil.
