Basil is a popular herb in Italian cooking, particularly in pesto.
This fragrant and flavorful herb, a relative of peppermint, is an
excellent, nutritious addition to your pasta sauce, soup, or salad.
Basil is also a good source of
vitamin A, which helps to prevent damage to the cells by free radicals.
Vitamin A also prevents free radicals from oxidizing cholesterol in the
blood stream, preventing the cholesterol from building up in the blood
vessels.
Magnesium is also present in basil. This essential
mineral helps the heart and blood vessels to relax, improving blood
flow. Other nutrients found in basil include iron, calcium, potassium,
and vitamin C.
The fresh, spicy flavor and scent of basil will
wake up any boring salad or soup. Use fresh basil whole, or shredded to
add a burst of flavor to your dinner. If you are using fresh basil in a
cooked dish, add it towards the end of cooking, so that the volatile
oils will not be dissipated by the heat.
