Growing Your Own Fresh Herbs Indoor

My husband and I are certified food lover, We love to eat and cook as well. While looking for a new food recipe online that we can cook at home, we saw these lovely Genovese Pesto Plus Herb Kit that is being sold by Emily's plants. It can also be given as gift, but we decided to rather grow it at home instead of giving it. It is perfect for making pesto sauce, it is a sauce originating in Genoa in the Liguria region of northern Italy, and traditionally consist of crushed garlic, basil, and European pine nuts blended with olive oil, Parmigiano Reggiano or also well known as Parmesan cheese, and Fiore Sardo which is another cheese but is made from a sheep's milk. The name pesto is contracted past participle of the Genoese word pestâ which means to pound or to crush, in reference to the original method of preparation, with marble mortar and wooden pestle. 

Pesto is commonly used on pasta and is sometimes served on sliced beef tomatoes and sliced boiled potatoes. Because pesto is a generic term for anything that is made by pounding, there are various other pesto that were made, some were traditional and others were already modern. A slightly version of the sauce exist in Provence, where it is known as pistou which is generally made with olive oil, basil and garlic only, cheese can be added but nuts are not included unlike the traditional pesto, since there are no pine trees that grows in their place to provide nuts. Pesto rosso or red pesto is a sauce made in Sicily, it is similar to pesto genovese but with the addition of tomato, almonds instead of pine nuts and much less basil. There are other more varieties of pesto all over the world and are too many to mention but the original pesto recipe is still the best and is still used in most pasta recipe.

The herb kit will surely be a big help since we will be growing fresh herbs in the kitchen. I am so glad that all the information is posted on their website. We will be expecting the delivery within 2-3 business days and the prices are also posted so we are sure how much we are exactly paying for the kit.
