Product Description

Krishna Tulsi (Ocimum tenuiflorum) is cultivated using ancient Vrkshayurveda techniques. The deep purple-veined leaves release a complex aroma of peppery clove with citrus undertones when crushed. Revered in Ayurveda as 'The Queen of Herbs', it contains high concentrations of eugenol (up to 72%), rosmarinic acid, and ursolic acid that support respiratory health and stress adaptation. Each 100g bundle contains 150-200 hand-plucked leaves harvested at dawn when essential oil content peaks. The leaves undergo traditional sun-curing that enhances their phytochemical profile, developing vibrant purple hues. Perfect for fresh pesto, herbal teas, or infused ghee. Store wrapped in damp muslin in the refrigerator (7-10 days freshness). For kadha, steep 5-7 leaves in hot water for 10 minutes. Also used in traditional puja rituals for purification.
