Thai Basil

Also known as Asian basil, Thai basil has a distinct licorice flavor that doesn’t exist in sweet basil.  Is made distinct by its small leaves, purple stems and purple flowers when it blooms. It is utilized so extensively in Indian and Southeast Asian dishes that it is practically considered a vegetable rather than a simple herb.

ENJOY: Torn or use whole leaves to build your flavour base in stir-fries and curries or simply sprinkle through Thai style salads.
STORE: Trim stems and store in a glass of water on your kitchen bench.
