Basil is one of the most popular herbs that you will find in almost any kitchen. It adds great flavor to your meals as well as loading them up with great nutrients. Basil contains a good amount of iron, which helps your body form red blood cells; vitamin C and K for a healthy immune system and bone health; and Lutein, which is very important for protecting the parts of your body, eyes and skin, that are exposed to the environment.

Add some freshly cut basil to almost any meal and enjoy the wonderful flavor and nutrients it will give your body.
Express your love today!
