Basil Thai

Piccolo Seeds

A fragrant and flavorful herb with a spicy, anise-like taste and a hint of liquorice. Its glossy green leaves and purple stems make it both a culinary essential and an attractive ornamental plant. 

Latin name: Ocimum basilicum
Harvest by pinching leaves as needed. For best freshness, store stems in a glass of water in a cool, dark place. Use fresh or cooked in stir-fries, noodles, and curries, or enjoy it raw for its unique anise flavor. Thai Basil is refreshing, supports appetite, and pairs perfectly with coconut and lime.
