Elevate your favorite Southeast Asian dishes with the vibrant intensity of Melissa's premium Thai Basil. Sourced for its exceptional quality and freshness, our Thai Basil delivers the robust, licorice-like aroma and spicy-sweet flavor that defines authentic Thai cuisine.

Unlike its sweet basil counterpart, Thai basil boasts a more intense savory profile with hints of anise and clove, perfectly complementing bold ingredients like chilies, ginger, and lemongrass. You’ll commonly find it in Thai tom yum, panang curry, and Vietnamese pho.

Store at room temperature in a jar with water, like a bouquet of flowers, or refrigerate wrapped in a slightly damp paper towel in a plastic bag.
