Basilikum, commonly known as basil, is a fragrant herb native to tropical regions of Asia and Africa and widely used in Mediterranean and Southeast Asian cuisines. Rich in vitamin K, vitamin A, and antioxidants, basil adds nutritional value to dishes while promoting heart health, reducing inflammation, and supporting immune function. It contains compounds like eugenol, which offer antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Basil is low in calories and free of cholesterol, making it a healthy addition to salads, sauces, and soups. From classic Italian pesto to Thai green curry, basil brings a fresh and peppery flavor to meals. While generally healthy, consuming basil oil or extracts in large quantities might lead to potential side effects, so moderation is key.
