The extraordinary, exotic, unmistakable aroma of Thai Basil is reminiscent of Anise as well as liquorice. It is mainly used in Vietnam and Thailand for curries, soups, sauces, noodles and teas, but also for ice cream. Its richness in vitamin A is said to support eye health and to protect the skin from sunburn. Fun fact: It also repels insects and is even used to treat snakebites.
