Gourmet Dried Holy Basil Leaves
Spicy, not sweet
Also called 'hot basil'
Hand packed in our Gourmet Spice Shop

Description

We've sourced the best dried thai holy basil and packaged it for you.

This is the more spicy "grapao" basil.

Also called "hot basil" because of its peppery, exotic flavor.

This basil is used in simple stir-fries, and together with garlic, fresh chillies and fish sauce, it imparts a wonderful flavor to any meat or seafood you wish to toss up quickly in the wok.

Thai holy basil has a noticeably different flavor than the variety sold as seedlings under the same name in many Western nurseries that carry specialty culinary herbs. It is spicy, not sweet.
