Sweet Basil is a beloved culinary herb across the globe. While distinct from the sacred Holy Basil (Tulsi), it holds its own place in traditional wellness. Its aromatic nature is used to clear the senses and support respiratory health. In cooking, its sweet and peppery flavor profile enhances a wide variety of dishes, from Italian sauces to Thai curries.

  • As a Finishing Herb: Sprinkle the dried leaves or powder over dishes just before serving to preserve its delicate flavor.
  • In Infusions: Create aromatic oils or vinegars by infusing the dried leaves.
  • For a Refreshing Tea: Steep a teaspoon of the powder in hot water for a tea that can help to clear the head and soothe the stomach.
