FAQs

Is Thai basil different than regular basil?

Yes, Thai basil is different from regular basil! While both belong to the same family, Thai basil has a spicy, peppery flavor with hints of anise and clove, making it a key ingredient in Southeast Asian dishes. On the other hand, regular basil (like Genovese) is milder and sweet, perfect for Italian dishes like pesto. Both are delicious—just different in taste!

Where is the best place to plant Thai basil?

Thai basil loves the sun! The best place to plant it is in a sunny spot that gets 6–8 hours of sunlight daily. It thrives in well-draining, slightly acidic soil. Whether in the ground or pots, ensure it's in a place where the air flows, keeping the plant happy and healthy.

Is Thai basil easy to grow?

Yes, Thai basil is relatively easy to grow! It thrives in warm weather and plenty of sunlight. Just plant it in well-draining soil, water regularly, and it will grow like a charm. It’s also a great choice for pots, so even if you're short on space, you can enjoy this aromatic herb on your windowsill!

Can I eat Thai basil raw?

Absolutely! Thai basil is delicious raw and can add a burst of flavor to your dishes. Its spicy, slightly sweet taste works wonders in salads, wraps, or as a garnish. It’s often used fresh in Thai cuisine to enhance soups, curries, and spring rolls. Go ahead, enjoy the fresh kick!

Does Thai basil need a lot of water?

Thai basil loves moisture but doesn’t like to be soggy! Keep the soil moist but well-draining, and water when the top inch feels dry. It’s important not to overwater, as that can lead to root rot. Regular, moderate watering is the key to keeping your basil happy and thriving!
