About Tulsi
Tulsi is a fragrant, bushy herb of the mint family, grown across India and found in the courtyard of many Indian homes, where it is worshipped. There are three main types: Rama tulsi, with green leaves; Krishna or Shyama tulsi, with purple leaves and a stronger taste; and Vana tulsi, a wild type. In Ayurveda, tulsi is valued as an adaptogen and a herb for respiratory and immune health, and it is a common ingredient in kadha and herbal teas. Holy basil is a different species from the sweet basil used in Italian cooking.
How Tulsi Extract Is Made
Fresh leaves are shade-dried to keep their colour and aroma, then extracted with water or water-alcohol. The extract is concentrated and spray dried into a green-brown powder with a warm, clove-like, slightly bitter taste.
