What it is

Tulsi, also known as holy basil, is an herb native to the Indian subcontinent. It is widely used in Ayurvedic medicine and as a culinary herb. The leaves and stems are typically used, and they can be dried or used fresh.

Why it's used

Tulsi is most often used as a flavoring agent in teas and beverages. It can also be found in some herbal supplements and food products. Its distinct aroma and flavor contribute to the overall taste profile of these items.

Health notes

Tulsi is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is commonly used in herbal teas and supplements. Some research suggests tulsi may have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, but more studies are needed to confirm these effects in humans. JECFA has evaluated tulsi, but did not set a numeric acceptable daily intake.

Allergen info

Tulsi is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
