Basil Seeds - 100g Description

Basil is a name used to describe a variety of herbs that are part of the mint family. The Italian variety is typically called Sweet Basil, in contrast to Thai Basil and Lemon Basil, which are used in Asia. The aroma and taste of Basil vary by the type, but generally the herb has an anise-like flavor with a sweet smell. Basil leaves are the most common form in cooking, either whole or ground, while Basil seeds are used mostly in Asian desserts and drinks due to their gelatinous quality when soaked in water. Basil is most associated with Italian cooking, where it is a common ingredient in sauces such as pesto and marinara. In Asian cuisines, Basil is typically found in soups, and to a lesser extent, in milk-based desserts.
