Description
Basil is a culinary herb prominently featured in Italian cuisine, and also in the Southeast Asian cuisines of Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. There are many varieties of basil. Sweet basil is used in Italy, as opposed to Thai basil, lemon basil and holy basil, which are used in Asia. When soaked in water, the seeds of several basil varieties become gelatinous, and are used in Asian drinks and desserts such as falooda or Sherbet. Basil seeds are used for their medicinal properties in Ayurveda, the traditional medicine of India.
