It is characterised by spicy, anise- and cinnamon-like notes. That is why it often accompanies Mediterranean dishes. It has seduced tomatoes, but it also has appetite for less obvious relationships, such as basil ice cream. To learn what fresh basil truly is, you need to blend one bunch with mascarpone, Greek yoghurt and powdered sugar for a hint of sweetness. The mixture should be held in a freezer and after a few hours, it will be ready to eat.
Historia
It is a plant that most likely comes from the tropical areas of Africa. The oldest traces of its cultivation have also been found in Asia and in ancient Rome. The name of this popular herb probably comes from the Greek word "basileus," which stands for "the king". In France, basil is still called a royal herb. Today, the plant is cultivated around the world, also at home, and has as much as 150 varieties.Warunki uprawy
