Basil is a fragrant herb that comes from the basil plant, known for its vibrant green leaves and distinctive aroma. This popular ingredient is commonly used in cooking to add flavour and a fresh taste to dishes.

Basil is grown in gardens or farms and harvested by picking the leaves from the basil plant. The leaves are then dried, crushed, or used fresh in various recipes. Basil can also be processed into oils or dried herbs to be used in cooking.
