Our dried basil is nothing more than pure, extra-fancy grade, whole organic Egyptian basil leaves (Ocimum basilicum). And that's a good thing. No GMOs. No ETO (considered carcinogenic by the EPA). Not irradiated. Certified Organic by QAI. Kosher Certified by KSA. Pungent, aromatic, woodsy and herbaceous. Sweet, with slightly minty notes. This is real basil.

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.

Simply Organic Sweet Basil Leaf is naturally grown and processed in Egypt. It is 100% organic, kosher certified, and non-irradiated from start to finish. There are no chemicals or artificial additives used during any step of production.

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 Uses:
- Try basil with fish, poultry, beans, pasta, rice, eggs, and vegetables like zucchini, eggplant, potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, and spinach.
- Use it in 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.

Cheesy Ratatouille
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]This cheesy twist on a classic ratatouille recipe feels like a slow stroll through a European market—sun-warmed tomatoes, tender zucchini, silky eggplant, all tucked under a blanket of melted mozzarella. It’s simple, rustic and deeply comforting, the kind of dish that invites you to linger at the table and savor every herb-kissed bite.
Cheesy Ratatouille
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 14 oz. fresh mozzarella cheese
- 1 medium eggplant
- 2 zucchini
- 1 lb. roma tomatoes
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 2 tsp. dried basil
- 2 tsp. dried oregano
- 1 tsp. dried rosemary (crushed)
- 1 tsp. dried thyme
- 1 tsp. dried marjoram
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 5 tsp. dried parsley
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Slice all vegetables into similar sizes. The rounds should be about ¼-inch thick. Eggplant will likely need to be quartered to match size of zucchini rounds.
- In small dish, mix together all spices.
- In bowl, toss eggplant, zucchini and roma tomatoes with olive oil and seasoning blend.
- In 8x8-inch baking dish or rough equivalent, spoon tomato sauce onto bottom and build by layering each vegetable slice evenly.
- Cover dish with foil and bake 35 minutes.
- Remove dish from oven, remove foil and add thin slices of cheese over top, covering veggies; bake uncovered about 10 minutes until cheese is melted and slightly golden.
- Let rest 5-10 minutes so cheese thickens prior to removal from dish. Garnish with basil or parsley before serving.
