Basil 'Freshness' is an elegant herb with a rich, fresh aroma that combines sweet-spicy, peppery, and anise notes. Its tender, smooth, bright emerald-green leaves not only add an attractive appearance to dishes but also impart a unique flavor accent. This basil is highly valued in Mediterranean cuisine, where it is used to make sauces, salads, pizza, and pasta.
The plant is rich in vitamins A, C, and PP, which helps improve blood vessel elasticity, strengthen nails, and improve skin condition. The high content of essential oils, including camphor, gives basil a characteristic aroma reminiscent of sweet pepper. Basil oil has astringent and carminative properties, which is why infusions made from it are used to treat flatulence.
This variety of basil is grown using hydroponics with seed material from the Netherlands. It is GMO-free, and its nitrate level is several times lower than the permissible norm. In terms of aroma richness and essential oil content, this basil surpasses the field bush variety, making it especially valuable for culinary and medicinal applications.
