Basil is one of the oldest herbs known to mankind and has several magical health benefits. It has compounds that can help to alleviate anxiety and depression. Every time I smell fresh basil I am instantly calmed.

My Nourishing Green Sauce is my special take on a vegan pesto. I use it weekly on my gluten-free pasta. It’s also lovely drizzled over roasted veggies, tacos and the list goes on.
