I'd guess they'd be about equivalent to the dried Holy Basil -- worth a try. We haven't grown any basils here: they are so widely available at Asian markets and at local farmer's markets in the summer and we use a LOT for our classes. -- Michael David,

I think I learnt that by reading your book. That's good. Is there any way of keeping Thai Sweet Basil? I can't get a fresh supply here locally so it would be good if I could preserve somehow. I tried freezing but they just turn black! :-( Have you tried growing the Thai Basils in the states? I've had success with the Sweet but not with Holy Basil for some reason. Hi Kasma,
