Ocimum basilicum is the basil most famously used in Italian and Southeast Asian cuisines. It is a member of the same Lamiaceae family as the other Holy Basil varieties but has a distinctly sweeter and less pungent flavor profile. Its essential oils give it its wonderful aroma and its gentle therapeutic properties.
This variety, often known as Sweet Basil, is the classic culinary basil. In Ayurveda, while different from Holy Basil, it is still valued for its ability to pacify Vata and Kapha. It is used to support respiratory health, improve digestion, and act as a mild nerve tonic. Its aromatic nature helps to clear the mind and senses.
We source fresh, aromatic Basil leaves from organic cultivators, ensuring they are harvested before the plant flowers for the best flavor.
The leaves are carefully dried and ground to preserve their sweet aroma and delicate compounds.
