Holy Basil is commonly used fresh in cooked recipes. In general, it is added at the last moment, as cooking quickly destroys the flavor. The fresh herb can be kept for a short time in plastic bags in the refrigerator, or for a longer period in the freezer, after being blanched quickly in boiling water. The dried herb also loses most of its flavor, and what little flavor remains tastes very different. Two types are used in Thai cooking,  green and purple red basil. The latter one is more fragrant and spicier. The benefit of holy basil is to dispel gas and helps relieve stomach pain and colic.
