Basil, Thai Sweet

OUR FAVORITE! Annual. Popular sweet, spicy basil that is essential in Thai cuisine. Very flavorful, with a nice licorice taste. Amazing taste of Thailand! This plant is not only a culinary favorite, but also known for its medicinal value. It is also a source of calcium and vitamins. Don’t make a pot of curry without it!
