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.
