Basil Plant Lovers


Organic products are those of which that do not use or involve modern synthetic inputs such as the synthetic pesticides and the chemical fertilizers. They are also not processed using irradiation, industrial solvents, or chemical food additives. Many other countries of today, especially, the European Union, the United States, Canada and Japan, requires producers to obtain a special certification for those who want to market food as organic within their borders. It was around 1940's when the organic farming first arose, that is in response to the Green Revolution which is the industrialization of Agriculture. Organic food production is a heavily regulated industry which is very distinct in private gardening. One of the most commonly food that is use fresh in cooked recipe is the basil. It is usually added at the last moment or as a garnish to the cooked food.


Basil has a round and sometimes pointed leaves which can be sometimes mistaken as a peppermint but they are both different although they are still related to each other. The highly fragrant leaves of basil has become a main ingredient, overtime, in a food called pesto, it is mix together with pine nuts and Parmesan cheese. There are also dried basil which are mostly used by Chinese for their soup and other foods.
