Current Facts
Basil is botanically classified as Ocimum basilicum, a member of the Lamiaceae or mint family and part of the Ocimum genus along with thyme, rosemary, mint and oregano. Its botanical name, Ocimum basilicum translates in Greek to smell and king, hence Basil's unofficial title, “the king of herbs”. Basil, sweet or Italian basil, as it is also known, is the most popular and common of all culinary basil cultivars. Plants of the Ocimum genus are characterized by stems with square cross sections and leaves that grow opposite each other on the stem.
Nutritional Value
Basil boasts a high level of vitamin K, only 2 table spoons of Basil fulfills 20% of the recommended daily intake. Basil also has a moderate amount of beta-carotene, a powerful antioxidant which converts to vitamin A when digested. Basil has been used in traditional Hindu medicine to treat inflammatory diseases, including arthritis. Basil's oils can also be extracted and utilized for their aromatherapy qualities as well as has been found that in high concentrations is an effective antimicrobial for food born bacteria.
Applications
Basil is a delicate herb that can be used whole, chopped, crushed into a paste or dried; though it loses much of its aromatic properties when dried. It is most commonly used raw in fresh applications or when finishing cooked preparations as heat alters the flavor and color of the herb. Add strands of Basil to chopped, stacked and bread salads. Serve chopped atop pizza, pasta, chicken and fish. Combine with pistachios, pinenuts and/or walnuts to make a creamy pesto sauce. The aromatic flavor of Basil pairs well with tomatoes, garlic, onion, corn, pear, mint, strawberry and cow’s milk cheeses. Basil will keep, dry and refrigerated, for up to a week but is best when used immediately.
Ethnic/Cultural Info
Basil has long been a popular herb for use in Italian, Thai and Vietnamese cuisine. In the Hindi religion one specific variety of Basil known as Tulsi is considered scared and believed to have protective powers, it was even used for a period of time in British court as a substitute for the bible when Indians would go under oath.
Geography/History
Basil is native to Africa, Asia and the Pacific Islands. From there it made its way to Europe and India via the Middle East in the sixteenth century and eventually to America in the seventeenth century. Newspaper documentation mentioning the sale of Sweet Basil in New York can be found dating back to the end of the eighteenth century. Today, Basil can be found growing in temperate regions around the world and will thrive with ample sun exposure and well-drained soil. One of the easiest herbs to grow, Basil should be pinched back early and frequently to encourage bushing and to prevent bolting.
