About Busuioc
Busuioc, commonly known as basil, is an aromatic herb native to tropical regions of Asia and Africa, and a staple in Mediterranean cuisine. Packed with essential nutrients, it contains vitamin K, vitamin A, manganese, and small amounts of magnesium, iron, and calcium. Basil boasts powerful antioxidants, including eugenol and flavonoids, which help combat oxidative stress and promote overall health. Its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties make it beneficial for supporting immunity and digestive health. Additionally, basil can aid in regulating blood sugar levels and is low in calories, making it a healthy addition to meals. Often used fresh or dried, busuioc enhances flavor in salads, soups, sauces, and pasta. While generally healthy, it should be consumed in moderate amounts, as excessive intake of concentrated basil extracts could interact with certain medications.
