Happy Savory Saturday,
Unlike Italian basil some flavors don’t just season a dish, they transform it. Thai basil is one of those magical herbs, with its vibrant aroma and subtle notes of licorice and spice. You can spot it easily by its reddish-burgundy stem, a beautiful contrast to the deep green leaves that make it stand out from regular basil. A single handful can lift an ordinary meal into something bold, fresh and unforgettable.
Rich in antioxidants and essential oils, Thai basil not only delights the senses but also supports wellness with every bite. Its deep green leaves bring both health and harmony to your plate.
My favorite ways to enjoy Thai basil are simple and delicious, tossing it into a stir-fry at the very end for a burst of fragrance or layering it into fresh rice paper summer rolls for a refreshing crunch.
On this Savory Saturday, let’s celebrate Thai basil, the herb that turns simple into spectacular.
Here’s to bold flavors and fresh wellness.
I started out over 10 years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
