Basil

Basil (Osimum basilicum) is a type of sweet basil native to Southeast Asia that has been cultivated to provide distinctive traits. Its flavor is more stable under high or extended cooking temperatures than that of sweet basil. Thai basil exhibits small, narrow leaves and purple stems, with a mauve (pink-purple) flower.

Basil is used in several different Asian cultures. Thai holy basil is a variety of tulasi, which is worshiped in India and is also often called “holy basil”.

Both Thai holy basil and tulasi have smaller, softer, slightly hairy leaves and an aroma akin to that of cloves. In Vietnam, the most common basil cultivar with purple stems is called cinnamon basil, known as “Húng quế”
