Basil Leaves have compounds that can help with alleviating anxiety and depression, and lowering the risk for age-related memory loss. Essential oils in basil can help with fighting inflammation in the body.
Basil leaves are a great ingredient in many recipes, as you can top them onto pizza, finish pasta with whole or thinly sliced leaves, blend them into sauces, incorporate them into soups, and chop them up to add to your salads.
