HOLY BASIL

Ocimum tenuiflorum

HOLY BASIL

Ocimum tenuiflorum

Holy basil is a close relative to both sweet basil & Thai basil, also belonging to the mint family (Lamiaceae). This robust herb probably gets its main claim to fame with Thai Holy Basil Pork & Chicken (Delicious Thai stir fry dishes), where it is a key ingredient to the dishes strong flavor and aroma. Outside of delicious stir fries, rice dishes, even pasta, holy basil also serves as a wonderful herbal tea. Either consumed alone, or blended with other herbs, it is a very relaxing herbal tea well suited for night time enjoyment.
