Sweet Thai Basil

Store fresh leaves in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. For longer storage, you can chop the leaves and freeze them in ice cube trays with water or oil.

Add fresh leaves at the end of cooking to preserve their delicate flavor and aroma.

Bruise the leaves slightly before adding to dishes to release more of their aromatic oils.

This basil holds up well to heat compared to other basil varieties, making it suitable for stir-fries and curries.
