The History of Organic Basil

Organic basil dates back to ancient civilisations, where it was revered for its culinary and medicinal properties. Originating in India and Persia, basil made its way to Europe via the spice trade, becoming a staple in Mediterranean cuisine. Its aromatic leaves and distinctive flavour have been cherished for centuries, with basil being used in religious ceremonies, as a symbol of love, and for its healing properties. Today, organic basil is cultivated using sustainable farming practices, honouring its heritage as a natural, healthy ingredient.
