Holy Basil or Bai Grapow

This variety tastes rather like cloves, and is just as pungent, which explains its alternative name; hot basil. The leaves release their full flavour only when cooked. Use holy basil as fresh as possible In Thailand it is also sometimes sautéed with frogs' legs. Hindus believe that basil is sacred and they like to plant it in religious sanctuaries. With a slightly hot flavour, though not so hot as pepper, holy basil leaves are used in many Thai dishes, including stir-fried meat dishes and curries. Basil is also used for medical purposes, to treat indigestion and to stimulate the appetite.
