Thai basil

Description

• It is also known as Thai holy basil or by its Indian name, tulasi or tulsi; it is widely used in India for culinary, medicinal, and religious purposes. Lemon basil (O. × citriodorum), or maenglak (Thai: แมงลัก), as its name implies, has undertones of lemon in scent and taste.

• Thai basil leaves are more narrow and tapered in shape with slightly more serrated or jagged edges. Both plants have varying sizes of herb leaves, although Thai basil leaves generally tend to be smaller than common basil leaves.19 Feb 2021
