Spices of Life Quickbite: Basil

It's that wonderful time of year when basil (and tomatoes) plentiful and fragrant, but did you also know that in addition to its sublime taste, basil is chock full of health benefits? For instance:

*It contains volatile oils that are anti-bacterial & anti-inflammatory.

*It's a great source of Vitamin A & Betacarotene so it's great for good heart health.

*It helps digestion and eases gas.

So go heavy on the basil and see the recipe section for a quick and easy ( delicious too!) Stir- Fried Chicken with Basil.

Enjoy!!
