Today we will wake you up with a little trick that will help you get the most out of this beautiful aromatic plant.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Basil as if it were fresh even if it was dried<\/strong> ? Yes, it is possible, but only if you put into practice this technique that only farmers know<\/strong> . Ready to be surprised?<\/p>\n\n\n\n An aromatic plant with a very pleasant smell, basil<\/strong> is perfect for adding a strong and intense note to our dishes. But, of course, its virtues do not end in the kitchen. For lovers of complementary and Ayurvedic medicine<\/strong> , basil leaves are a truly precious treasure and here we will discover why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Did you know that this plant can help you solve some common ailments<\/strong> ? If you suffer from dyspepsia or meteorism, chewing 3 basil leaves can be the solution to your problem. You can also use them to prepare a decoction or herbal tea: the digestive and purifying effect is guaranteed…<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is not difficult to grow this beautiful and aromatic plant. With proper care, you can have fresh, healthy basil for a year. Furthermore, not everyone knows that all parts of this plant can be used<\/strong> , except the root.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In general, we only use the leaves<\/strong> that we try to preserve for as long as possible with various techniques. And if we told you that even dried basil can be preserved for years,<\/strong> here is the technique that only expert farmers know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dried basil is also a precious resource, a treasure inside and outside the kitchen that you should stock up on. If you don’t know how to store it, don’t worry: here’s a trick that will keep it for years!<\/p>\n\n\n\n First of all, it is good to remember that what can be dried is the so-called “basil ear”<\/strong> . There are two techniques that can be used. The first is very simple and consists in extracting the basil simply with the hand method<\/strong> : with the thumb and forefinger you gently crush the sprig and in a few seconds you will have the leaves in your hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All you have to do is put it in a bag and let it dry<\/strong> . The second system consists, however, in cutting the ear and<\/strong> cleaning it afterwards, always proceeding to dry it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Be careful to learn to recognize the twigs that can be cut<\/strong> . There is a trick: the branch to be cut will be completely green and will have flowers<\/strong> in the central part which indicate that pollination has already taken place and that it has withered<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n But how do you dry basil? Get a net, put the basil in it, close it and hang it on a clothesline<\/strong> – which should be placed in a cool place away from sunlight – closing it on the side with clothespins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How do you know that the drying process was successful<\/strong> ? It’s simple: when the basil turns green and dry. <\/strong> At this point all you have to do is put it in a glass jar and close the jar with its airtight lid: you will have the basil to use whenever you want<\/strong> . With this preservation technique it will last for years!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is the only way to store dried basil.
