The Royal Herb - BASIL

Herbs are good ingredients in cooking and the most popular when it comes to culinary benefits is basil. There are many varieties of this herb (I mentioned 10 in one of my articles) but I would highy recommend the best herbal ingredient for your cooking is the sweet basil. If you are not familiar with the varieties, and will be trying for cooking for the first time - I tell YOU - find the sweet basil variety (these are common in veggie shelves in your favorite supermarket). These variety is also the best for pesto sauces ( Hmmmmmmmmmmmm Very YUMMY!!!)

Make Your Home-made Pesto Sauce - This is not hard work.

Turn your food prcessor (or blender) on and add a big clove of peeled garlic. Then add 1 cup of sweet basil leaves. When the leaves are minced, add 1 1/2 tablespoon of pine nuts (walnuts can be substituted in the absence of pine nuts), dash of salt, dash of pepper. Blend thoroughly. As you blend this, add 1/4 cup of olive oil little by little then lastly, add 1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese. Continue processing until the desired consistencyis achieved. you may also add water if the sauce is too thick.

P.S. To Moringa Tree Benefits

This P.S. is more for the beauty - oh no! - handsome conscious. There is one big benefit for those whose hairline is already receding. You have 2 ways to grow your hair through the leaves of the Moringa tree.

Here is what you have to do with the leaves :

1. Pound in a mortar and pestle or place in a food processor or osterizer - Add a little water so that you can extract a good amount of juice. Apply the extract on the receding hairline or in any part that you wish more hair to grow.

2. Eat lots of the leaves. Add them to your porridge, stew, cereals or just boil them. There were stories that with too much indulgence in ingesting the moringa tree leaves, hair in the different parts of the body begin to thicken. (But with this method, you can not cntrol where the hair grows.)

If you try this ... let me know the result....... Happy eating !!!!

Moringa Tree

Here am I again sharing with you my latest article on a very powerful but lowly tree.
This grows easily in abundance in the Philippines. both in the rural and urban areas. Every backyard seems to have a tree or two of this "Malunggay" tree. If you happen to live in a condominium where you do not have any space to plant this tree, you can buy one or several bundles from the supermarket, market or "talipapa" (Sorry to my foreign readers if the word talipapa will sound "Greek" to you. This is a small mobile store that sells veggies, meat, poultry, etc and they are found along roads and streets. I am sorry I can not explain this any better.)The price of a bundle of Moringa leaves is very cheap. Yet - these leaves are a powerhouse of different anti-oxidants, vitamins and minerals. LIVE HEALTHY WITH THE MORINGA TREE.
