Basil

Dried basil is a savory, dehydrated herb made from the leaves of Ocimum Basilicum, offering a concentrated, sweet, and earthy flavor with subtle hints of mint and clove.

Culinary Uses

• Long-Cooking Dishes: Ideal for simmering soups, stews, marinara sauce, and casseroles because heat helps release its deep flavors.

• Substitution Ratio: Use one-third the amount of dried basil when a recipe calls for fresh basil (1 teaspoon of dried equals 1 tablespoon of fresh).
