Gardens are bursting with basil right now. Why we all need to eat some.

If you’re not growing basil - find a neighbor who is. 

It’s plentiful right now and basil is really good for us. It’s a great source of vitamin K which is good for our blood and our bones. It’s got iron and calcium and several other healthy compounds too. Basil also has unique anti-bacterial properties. Eating and cooking with it can help protect us from common strains of bacteria, provide relief from headaches and constipation and even ease symptoms of asthma and bronchitis.
