The word basil was derived from the Greek word “basileus”, meaning “king“, many cookery authors consider this plant as the “king of herbs“.
The ancient Greeks, as well as the ancient Egyptians, believed that basil could open heaven’s gates for a person passing on. In Europe, basil was placed in a dead person’s hand to assure a safe journey to the other world. In India, basil is placed in the dead’s mouth to ensure that they reach God.
