What is Holy Basil
While we might be familiar with basil, holy basil isn’t quite the same as the sweet or Thai basil. The herb has a wide range of reported benefits, and its uses include the whole plant rather than just the leaves. In fact, due to its reported nutritional benefits, holy basil is often called ‘the queen of herbs’ or the ‘incomparable one’. The official name for holy basil is Ocimum tenuiflorum. It’s native to Southeast Asia, although it grows all over the world too. It has a clove-like scent and flavour, making it a useful ingredient in cooking (although it’s often used medicinally or in supplements)
