Where can I buy Holy Basil?

[smashing]

Hi

I'm looking got holy basil for a Thai dish....any ideas around here?

Cheers.

Always difficult to source, so I use 50% regular basil, 40% mint, 10% parsley. Works for me.

Obviously a bit of a longer-term solution, but you can buy seeds and grow it yourself!

If you Google it, you will find lots of suppliers.

You can also buy plants of it - you could try phoning round local garden centres to see if they have it?

Have you tried the Chinese shop near Morrisons just off Rye Lane or the Vietnamese shop on Peckham High Street? Both usually have a lot of fresh herbs as well as galangal and lemongrass.
