Herb
Rama Tulsi
B tier
Rama tulsi is the green-leaved classic holy basil form used widely in Indian homes for tea and ritual—spicy-herbal rather than Italian-sweet. Brew leaves fresh or dried. Culinary use in Thai-style stir-fries possible if flavour matches kraphao expectations. Distinct from purple Krishna tulsi.
