Description:
Basil has many varieties, most of them considered an annual plant, but some of the basils are deemed perennial in warm, tropical climates.
The branching roots of basil produce bushy stems; their heights are estimated at 30-60 cm and have bearing opposite, ovate, entire, or toothed leaves which are often purplish-hued.
Basil is very aromatic, no tomato sauce or soup is complete without it.
Europeans think that basil can ensure a safe journey so they place it in the hands of the dead.
The Indians also have the same thought, but they place it in the mouth to ensure they reach God. The ancient Greeks and the ancient Egyptians believed it would open the gates of heaven for a person passing on.
