Basil, King of herbs

History : 

Basil derives from the Greek word"basileus", which means "king". The Oxford English Dictionary says that basil may have been used as "some royal unguent, bath, or medicine". The French often refer to the herb as l'herbe royale (the royal herb), and in Jewish folklore basil is thought to give strength while fasting.

Basil is native to India, China, Southeast Asia, and New Guinea.^[3] It was originally domesticated in India, having been cultivated there for more than 5,000 years.

Nutrition : 

The various basils have such different scents because the herb has a number of different essential oils that come together in different proportions for various breeds. The strong clove scent of sweet basil is derived from eugenol, the same chemical as actual cloves.
