Origin

The name ‘Basil’ comes from the ancient Greek word ‘Basileus’ meaning ‘king’ or ‘royal’. Basil is a herb that is used all over the world, and many people associate it particularly with Mediterranean cuisine, especially Italian food. Fewer people are aware that basil is also used extensively in Indonesian and Thai cooking. In India, basil is considered a sacred herb; it is offered to the Hindu gods. The plant's flowers are mainly used to decorate rice and vegetable dishes and to add a taste twist.
