Production & Sourcing

Holy Basil, also known as tulsi, is a perennial plant native to Southeast Asia and is widely cultivated in India, Thailand, and other countries in the region. It can also be found in other tropical and subtropical regions such as Africa, the Caribbean, and South America. Traditionally, holy basil has been grown in home gardens and temple compounds due to its medicinal and spiritual significance. However, as demand for this herb has increased, commercial production has also become more common.

Holy basil can be grown from seeds or from cuttings, with the latter being the preferred method due to its faster growth rate. The plant requires warm temperatures, well-drained soil, and plenty of sunlight. It is typically harvested when the plant is about 2-3 feet tall, with the leaves being the most prized part of the plant.

In terms of sourcing, holy basil is primarily cultivated in India and Thailand, with India being the largest producer. There is also a growing market for organically-grown holy basil due to the increasing demand for natural and sustainable products.
