Is the nine-story pagoda Schizonepeta or basil?
It is called basil, which is very common in western food, especially with tomatoes. Panicum miliaceum, also known as "Golden Pagoda" in Chaozhou cuisine, is a basil plant in Labiatae. Its flowers are multi-layered pagoda-shaped, so it is called "nine-layered pagoda", which comes from a huge basil family. Because its leaves, stems and flowers have a strong fennel flavor, it is also called basil. The whole grass has the effects of expelling wind, relieving exterior syndrome, neutralizing dampness, promoting qi and blood circulation, detoxifying and reducing swelling, and is widely distributed in Asia, Europe, Africa and Africa. Anhui villagers are all called Schizonepeta, which is a local name! Others are also called "coriander", "dwarf chaff" and "thousand-layer pagoda".
