What it is
Organic Fermented Holy Basil is made from the holy basil plant (Ocimum tenuiflorum), also known as tulsi. The fermentation process uses beneficial microorganisms to break down compounds in the basil, potentially enhancing its flavor and nutritional profile.
Why it's used
Manufacturers may use fermented holy basil for its unique flavor profile and potential health-promoting properties. It is often found in beverages like sparkling botanicals, juices, and protein drinks, where it can add a complex, slightly spicy, and herbaceous note.
Health notes
Holy basil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. Some research suggests holy basil may have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, but more studies are needed to confirm these effects in humans at typical consumption levels. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have not established specific limits for holy basil in food. Evidence regarding its health benefits is still developing.
Allergen info
Holy basil is not one of the nine major allergens. It is also gluten-free.
