Ciao ciao! Basil is a very prominent ingredient in Italian cuisine and in addition to adding some rich flavor to your dish, it has many health benefits as well! Our beloved basil…

• is rich in Vitamin K, which builds strong bones and helps to prevent heart disease.
• has antibacterial and antimicrobial properties and have been shown to fight harmful bacteria, yeast, mold, viruses and inhibit their growth.
• has cancer fighting phytochemicals.
• is antiinflammatory.
• is contains powerful antioxidants that fight free radical damage.  Bonus: These same antioxidants fight the effects of aging as well!
• produces detoxifying enzymes that help support liver function and detox the body.
