In an Italian household in Boston MA, we grow basil in the summer and freeze it in the winter so we can enjoy it all year long. It stays fragrant & just as yummie freshly picked. Before Ideal Protein, I mainly used it only in my gravy's (Italian red sauce) for a homemade Sunday dinner. Now, I find that I put it in more of my dishes then ever.
Why is basil a great natural flavor spice?
- help fight bacteria, viruses & chronic disease
- essential oils have been shown to lower blood glucose, triglyceride and cholesterol levels.
- virtually calorie-free and, in addition to antioxidant vitamins and phenolics, is a rich source of vitamin K, zinc, calcium, magnesium, potassium and dietary fibre. - It adds a lot of flavour in a way that’s waistline-friendly
Here, I've added to a scallop dish that I made last night ! 
This was basil, garlic, oil, salt/pepper & spinach as a side dish to my scallops. I also added to my lunch of veggies today
