Dried Besobella


Ocimum spp.
Besobela

Ethiopian Holy Basil is different than but related to holy basil / tulsi. It has a grassy flavor with a hint of berries. Integral to Ethiopian cusine. Besobella is used in Niter Kibbeh, a spiced butter, and Berber Spice Blend which are added to vegetable and lentil stews. I can only find this dried.
