| Did You Know? |
Basil is native to
Asia. This "king of herbs" is one of the most widely used
herbs in the world.
Basil has a warm spicy smell and pungent flavor
(similar
to licorice and cloves), that does wonders for a Mediterranean cookery.
In hot dishes is best to
use only a little
during a cooking and add the rest at the last minute, because prolonged
cooking reduces aroma and flavor.
