Description
Thai basil is a flavorful and aromatic herb commonly used in Southeast Asian cuisine, especially Thai and Vietnamese dishes. Recognizable by its pointed, deep green leaves and purple stems, Thai basil has a distinct anise or licorice-like flavor with a hint of spice, setting it apart from sweet basil. This herb holds its flavor well under heat, making it ideal for stir-fries, curries, noodle dishes, and soups. Thai basil is also rich in antioxidants, vitamins A and C, and essential oils that contribute to its unique taste and health benefits.
