- Basil

by Mrs Annamma Philippose

Basil
 
The basil is a small, erect, glabrous, profusely branched herb indigenous to India. It has an intensive pungent smell.

The word basil is derived from the Greek word basileús which means king due to the royal fragrance of this herb.

In India, basil is also considered to be sacred and is mainly used in the worship of Lord Vishnu.

The basil has rich aroma and excellent blending properties. It is used in the preparation of French liquors, sophisticated perfumes and gourmet class culinary seasonings.

Basil oil is also popular for its unique blending nature with other ingredients.

The growth of basil requires warm temperature climates. Among all the spices, basil is the only one spice which offers highest yields per acre.
