HEALTH BENEFITS OF BASIL

Basil, or Ocimum basilicum, is an aromatic herb with varied culinary uses.

Native to Asia and Africa, basil plants bear purple or white flowers and edible, green leaves.

Fresh basil contains trace amounts of various vitamins, but the high chlorophyll content in this herb makes it a rich source of vitamin K. Vitamin K is essential for healthy blood clotting. Consuming this vitamin can help reduce your risk of bleeding excessively if you have a liver disorder or suffer from a malabsorption syndrome. Your body also needs vitamin K for your bones to use calcium properly.

Adult males should consume 120 micrograms of this vitamin daily, while adult females need 90 micrograms of vitamin K every day.
