Thai Basil

EverydayFresh

Thai basil is a distinctive variety of basil characterized by its purple stems and small, narrow leaves with pronounced anise and licorice notes. This aromatic herb, essential in Southeast Asian cuisine, maintains its flavor better under high heat compared to sweet basil, making it ideal for stir-fries and curries. Fresh Thai basil offers minimal caloric impact while providing distinctive flavor compounds and aromatic oils that are both culinary and traditionally therapeutic.
