Lemon Basil

With its delicate citrus fragrance and light aniseed notes, lemon basil (kemangi) is a refreshing twist on the classic basil family. Commonly used in ulam (fresh salads) and tamarind based dishes, it brightens curries and soups with its zesty aroma. Highly valued for its antioxidant properties, lemon basil is also believed to promote relaxation and digestion—making it a fitting end to a well-rounded meal.
