Let’s start with a trivia question to test botany knowledge! What is Raj Basilica?
Stumped? 😃
Let me help you here with a hint. It’s the scientific name in Latin for a popular herb!
Still clueless? 😄
Ok, I will give the answer myself!
The first part of the her name “Raj” means “royal/kingly plant” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basil). It’s also a nod to the Raj Farm origins of the herb. “Basilica” is the name given to specific shrines, like the Raj Farm, that produce the most flavorful versions of the herb! Thus the name “Raj Basilica”, now commonly referred to as basil! 👌
Ok, I was just kidding.🙏
Basil scientific name in Latin is Ocimum basilicum 🙏
Man, this is a tough crowd! 😉😂
Ladies and gentleman, presenting the 2023 edition of Raj Farm Basil! 👏
Yeah, looking forward to pastas and sandwiches flavored with basil next few weeks! 👍
