About Thai basil
Thai basil, a fragrant herb native to Southeast Asia, is a staple in Thai, Vietnamese, and other Asian cuisines. Distinct from its sweeter Italian counterpart, Thai basil boasts a bold, spicy flavor with hints of anise and clove, making it ideal for curries, stir-fries, and soups. Rich in vitamins A and K, this herb supports vision, skin health, and bone strength. Thai basil contains antioxidants such as beta-carotene and lutein, which help combat free radicals and inflammation. Its essential oils, including eugenol, are known for antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Low in calories and rich in nutrients, Thai basil adds aromatic depth to dishes while promoting overall wellness. However, consumption of Thai basil should be moderate, as large quantities of eugenol may have adverse effects.
