Basil

Basil is a fragrant culinary herb widely used in Mediterranean and Southeast Asian cuisines — especially Italian and Thai dishes — prized for its bright, aromatic leaves and fresh flavor. It’s commonly added to sauces, salads, soups and as a finishing herb to lift dishes rather than as a primary ingredient. Nutritionally, Basil is low in calories and concentrated in micronutrients; for example it provides 101µg of vitamin K per 100g, making it useful for adding vitamins and flavor with very little energy. It also contributes modest amounts of fiber, plant protein and minerals. From a health perspective, Basil brings antioxidant compounds (including carotenoids and polyphenolic components) and useful micronutrients while being very low in saturated fat. Used as a flavoring herb, it’s an easy way to increase vegetable variety and antioxidant intake without adding many calories.Read more
