04 · Buyer Considerations
How to Specify Fresh Thai Basil
When requesting Fresh Thai Basil, buyers should consider more than the product name alone.
Product Identity
Confirm that the requirement is for Fresh Thai Basil (โหระพา), not Holy Basil (กะเพรา) or Lemon Basil (แมงลัก).
Product Condition
State the required freshness, visual condition and acceptable defect tolerance.
Leaf & Stem Presentation
Specify any requirements regarding leaf/stem presentation or bunch/loose format where commercially relevant.
Aroma
Aroma is an important product characteristic and should be considered together with freshness and general condition.
Packaging
State the required commercial or retail packing format. Availability must be confirmed against supplier capability.
Intended Application
State whether the product is intended for wholesale distribution, food service, HORECA, Asian grocery, retail or another supported culinary application.
Destination
Destination country affects logistics and may affect phytosanitary, quarantine, residue and documentation requirements.
Transit & Handling
Because fresh basil is perishable, transit time and temperature-management requirements should be evaluated for the proposed shipment.

05 · Product Knowledge
What Is Fresh Thai Basil?
Fresh Thai Basil is a fresh culinary herb commonly known in Thailand as โหระพา. Its botanical identity is Ocimum basilicum L.
Commercial terminology may include Thai Basil, Fresh Thai Basil, Thai Sweet Basil, Sweet Basil and Ho Ra Phaa depending on market usage.
For B2B procurement, accurate product identification is important because Thai Basil should not be confused with other Thai herbs commonly called basil in English.
Holy Basil (กะเพรา) and Lemon Basil (แมงลัก) are distinct sourcing intents and should be specified separately.
This page covers fresh, unprocessed Thai Basil and does not primarily target dried basil, basil powder, extracts, oils or seeds.
