Basil is a tender annual herb that grows about 40-60cm high. It prefers well-drained soil in a sunny position. Protect your basil against cold winds and frost. Space the plants about 30cm apart and pinch out the growing tips and flower heads so encouraging a bushy habit.



Sweet Basil Seeds

********************

Commonly used in Thai cooking. Thai basil has lush, deep green leaves, purplish flower buds and stems and carries anise overtones to its sweet basil scent.



It is added by the big handfuls in whole leaves, to green and red curries and spicy stir-fried dishes; sprigs of it regularly appear with other herbs on vegetable platters to be nibbled on with spicy salads and chilli dips and added to soups.



The flower buds are also edible, adding a wonderful floral bouquet.



Thai Hoary Basil

******************



Thai Hoary Basil (sometimes also called Hairy Basil) is an annual herbaceous plant.



It has slightly hairy and pale green leaves, and is eaten either raw or used as a flavouring, and containing approximately 0.7 % volatile oil.



Therapeutic benefits include the alleviation of cough symptoms, and as diaphoretic and carminative agents.



Holy Basil

**********

Thai Holy Basil (bai gkaprow), often called hot basil because of its peppery taste, especially when very fresh, and has a hint of mint and cloves. Since its exotic flavor becomes fully released with cooking, it is not eaten raw, but added in generous amounts to stir-fried dishes and some spicy soups.



Holy basil is so-called because it is a sacred herb in India where it frequently is planted around Hindu shrines.



Holy basil appreciates full sun but will tolerate filtered light and partial shade. Like other basil plants, it requires a well-drained soil and should be planted outside in the late spring to early summer.



Red Basil

***********



Thai Red Holy Basil is not as strong tasting as bai gkaprow and has a more delicate taste.



Added in generous amounts to stir-fried dishes and some spicy soups.
