Organic Basil, Ocimum basilicum, is also known as wholesale basil, organic basil, organic dried basil, organic sweet basil, and bulk basil. While there are numerous varieties of the herb available in this country, the most used basil is referred to as "sweet basil".

Organic Basil is a member of the Lamiaceae, or mint, family. It is closely related to Organic Marjoram, Organic Mediterranean Oregano, Organic Rubbed Sage, Organic Thyme Leaf, and Organic Cracked Rosemary. We also have conventional Dried Basil available.

Organic Basil is popular with independent spice shops; seasoning companies; Italian, taco, and Mexican restaurants; brewpubs; food trucks; manufactures of jams and sauces; catering companies; and olive oil shops.

One teaspoon of dried Organic Basil equals one Tablespoon of fresh basil.

 

Flavor Profile

Organic Basil is aromatic and savory and has notes of pepper, anise, and mint.

 

How to Use

Organic Basil is a sweet and savory complement to a wide variety of foods. Its gentle flavor goes well with seafood, so add it to Herb Crusted Tilapia or herbaceous Mediterranean Salmon. It has an affinity for the acidic pop of tomatoes, so stir some into Tomato, Spinach, and Quinoa Bake. Make Mediterranean-style pasta and add to Grilled Vegetable Pasta. Organic Basil even goes well with fruit, so mix up a batch of Sweet Cantaloupe Salsa to enjoy with chips, crackers, cheese, or spooned over chicken or fish.

Basil goes well with capers, corn, cream cheese, eggplant, eggs, cheese, olives, pasta, peas, pizza, potatoes, rice, tomatoes, kiwi, watermelon, white beans, and zucchini.

The flavor pairs well with chives, cilantro, garlic, marjoram, oregano, mint, parsley, rosemary, thyme, lemon, orange, cumin, ginger, and pine nut.
