Frontier Co-op® Sweet Basil Leaf is a universal culinary herb (Ocimum basilicum) from the mint family (Lamiaceae) and is widely used for a variety of cooking needs across the globe. The leaves are organically grown and processed, kosher certified, and non-irradiated. This natural ingredient is sourced directly from Egypt.
Sweet Basil leaf combines well with garlic, parsley, rosemary, oregano, thyme, and sage. It has become a popular option for pizzas alongside oregano, and it can even be extracted to make essential oils. It is also used in DIY body care. Our Sweet Basil Leaf delivers a taste similar to anise, while also providing a strong, pungent, and sweet aroma. It is extremely popular in American kitchens due to its mild mint and pepper flavors.
Directions
Basil is a customary seasoning in tomato-based sauces, juices, and pesto. It blends well with oregano for pizza sauce, and with other seasonings, especially lemon, garlic and thyme.
Suggested Use:
- Try basil with fish, poultry, pasta, rice, eggs, and vegetables like zucchini, eggplant, potatoes, carrots, cauliflower and spinach.
- Use it is soups, stews, vinegars, and salad dressings (or sprinkle it directly on salads).
- Lay fresh leaves of basil over sliced fresh or buffalo mozzarella and drizzle with olive oil for a quick, light salad.
