Description

plant thai basil seeds Krapao Red (Thai Holy Basil)Intensely aromatic, slightly spicy holy basil used in Thai cooking, traditionally in dishes such as Pad Krapao. This branching, geometric and narrow leaved holy basil makes a low bush, reaching about 20" in height in our experience. Its distinct, clove like aroma perfumed the air whenever we'd brush past it in the field. Sports handsome, deep fuschia to dark red stems and flower stalks, covered in tiny pink blooms and abundant green foliage. Thrives

Intensely aromatic, slightly spicy holy basil used in Thai cooking, traditionally in dishes such as Pad Krapao. This branching, geometric and narrow-leaved holy basil makes a low bush, reaching about 20" in height in our experience. Its distinct, clove-like aroma perfumed the air whenever we'd brush past it in the field. Sports handsome, deep fuschia to dark red stems and flower stalks, covered in tiny pink blooms and abundant green foliage. Thrives in heat and prefers full sun.

This seed came to us through our friend and previous apprentice Heidi Ratanavanich, who has this to share about their ancestral herb:

"When I eat Pad Krapao, minced pork stir fry with Krapao, topped with a fried egg and a side of Nam Prik Pla (fish sauce, lime juice, garlic), I feel Thailand. For a long time, I thought Krapao was the same as Thai Basil (Horappaa), which has a different flavor from a totally different plant. On a trip to my mom's hometown in Thailand, Sappaya, my aunt pointed out Krapao growing on a path. This was the moment where I first learned this Krapao, in hand in Thailand. She helped me harvest the 2 varieties, red and white. I am so lucky and happy to be tending to Krapao this season at Truelove."

Days to maturity: 60

Seeds per pack: 100

Germination rate: 91% on 05/05/2026

Planting / harvesting notes

Sow seeds on the surface of moist potting soil, do not cover. Keep it evenly moist and in the sunlight until germination. Start indoors, and later transplant in full sun 10-12" apart.

Seed keeping notes

Allow seedheads to dry and turn brown on the plant. Cut the stalks below the lowest seed clusters. If necessary, dry the seedheads further in the sun on a sheet or table away from moisture and precipitation. When fully dry, whack the seedheads in a bucket, allowing the ripest seed to fall. Sift through strainers to remove the largest chaff, and then winnow off the lighter chaff with your breath, a fan, or the wind.

I know where the sugar is
Size: 1 PT
I will say these are not only very large but that they are pretty tart. To me they are somewhat like a blue rasberry sucker. They seem pretty fresh. They were not mushy at all, very firm but not hard. They look pretty clean also. I would repurchase since I know where the sugar is and where the muffin recipes are.

Delicious fresh Blueberries at a fraction of the price!
Size: 1 PT
Absolutely delicious, and so much less expensive than at the store!! Beautiful plump Blueberries that taste great! At first I wasn't sure, since they cost so much less than at any store, but I decided to try them just in case they turned out to be good, and to leave a review for others. They came inside a foil-interior brown bag, each with rubber bands to keep them closed (great idea) and with a frozen water bottle to help keep them cool! That was a very nice added bonus.

Fresh and Sweet Strawberries with Good Texture
Size: 16 OZ
The 1 lb package of strawberries arrived fresh with a bright color and appealing appearance. The berries had a good balance of sweetness and natural tartness, making them enjoyable on their own or added to yogurt, smoothies, cereal, or desserts. 🍓 The texture was firm without being overly hard, and most of the strawberries were a good size with minimal bruising. They rinsed easily and stayed fresh for several days when refrigerated properly. The 1 lb container provides a convenient amount for snacking or sharing. Overall, these strawberries offered good freshness, flavor, and versatility for everyday use.

Great price, fresh, good flavor. Will order again.
Size: 16 OZ
I took a chance, ordered 2, and was pleasantly surprised by these. Great price, and amazing flavor. 90% of them were ripe and ready to eat. Plump, good size strawberries. They for all healthy and moist as they should be, not one was dried out or starting to go bad. I will buy them again from Amazon now that I know they have quality strawberries to deliver. They were "durable" and survived the delivery to the porch just fine. Yummy!
