Thai Basil

Robust and aromatic, Thai basil (selasih) is known for its slightly spicy, anise-like flavour that stands up beautifully to rich coconut curries and stir-fries. Unlike its Western counterpart, Thai basil retains its fragrance even under high heat, making it an essential ingredient in Thai and Peranakan cooking. More than just a flavour enhancer, daun kemangi is also celebrated for its antibacterial properties, ensuring that every indulgence comes with a touch of wellness.⁠
