    At the video mark 1:38, you said "Holy Basil is glossier", do you mean the "Sweet Basil" instead ? At video mark 2:01 you said more than the holy basil. Please advise.

      Lovely clarification. What is on screen and discussed in that section is SWEET basil. Thanks! Enjoy your cooking and herbs, @kentpeh1

    • @ViREOLife
      @ViREOLife  Рік тому +3

      Thanks Debbi -- toward the beginning I misspoke calling one of the basils by the other name. To clarify for you - the sweet basil is the glossier one that is most used for cooking and digestion. Holy basil is has more ridges and is more of an adaptogen.

    Thank you so much. I have found in a patch of weeds, something that identifies as holy basil in three of my plant identification apps. It has no odor or taste. Im confused about that. Do you have any insight? I really appreciate your channel.

    • @ViREOLife

      @loragoff1969 so glad you enjoy my channel. Holy basil will definitely have a taste - so it may be a weed of some sort. Interesting!

    Do you happen to have any videos on "aromatto basil"? Mines green but it's supposed to be purple, my mom is trying to get me to throw it away claiming it's wild grass.

    Is the holy basil you’ve shown used in Pad Krapao? It’s a Thai dish.

      Oh my word! Basils come in so many varieties -- but basil that smells like curry -- that's unusual. Does it taste more like basil or more like a curry mix?

      What type of curry that you've made or bought that stinks? If it stinks, it's certainly not curry!
      I love curry, and I buy them regularly, but I've never had any that stinks!
