About this product

Dried Basil – Sweet, Herbaceous Flavor for Everyday Cooking

Dried basil is the dehydrated form of the fresh basil leaves from the Ocimum basilicum plant. Known for its sweet, peppery aroma and slightly minty, clove-like flavor, dried basil is a widely used herb in Mediterranean, Italian, Middle Eastern, and Southeast Asian cuisines. While more concentrated than fresh basil, it offers a subtler version of the fresh herb’s aroma, making it ideal for slow-cooked dishes, sauces, and seasoning blends.

Dried basil is a versatile pantry staple that complements a wide range of ingredients, especially tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, and cheese.

Common Uses

Pasta & Italian Dishes:

  • Adds flavor to tomato sauces, lasagna, pizza, pasta bakes, and marinara.
  • Blends well with oregano and thyme in herb seasoning for garlic bread or stuffed pastas.

Soups & Stews:

  • Perfect in minestrone, vegetable soups, and stewed lentil or bean dishes.
  • Enhances flavor in slow-simmered broths, especially when added early in the cooking process.

Salads & Dressings:

  • Adds an aromatic touch to vinaigrettes, pasta salads, and Mediterranean-style grain bowls.
  • Great in homemade Italian or Greek dressings when blended with olive oil and lemon juice.

Egg & Dairy Dishes:

  • Works well in omelets, scrambled eggs, frittatas, and quiches.
  • Pairs nicely with cheese in stuffed vegetables or cheesy dips.

Meat, Poultry & Vegetables:

  • Used in meat rubs, roasted chicken, grilled vegetables, and marinades.
  • Ideal for seasoning zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, and potatoes.

Herb Blends & Mixes:

  • A core herb in Italian seasoning, herbes de Provence, and Mediterranean spice blends.
  • Blends well with parsley, rosemary, thyme, marjoram, and bay leaf.

Usage Tips

  • Best when added early during cooking to allow the flavors to infuse and soften.
  • Crush between fingers before use to release natural oils and aroma.
  • Use 1 teaspoon of dried basil to substitute for about 1 tablespoon of fresh basil.

Storage Tips:

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from light and moisture. For best flavor, use within 6–12 months of opening.
