ocimum basilicum

basil
The word 'basil' is derived from the Greek word basileus that means 'king'.  From the sacred basil of India to the sweet, pungent basil of Thailand to the aromatic basil of Egypt, this herb is abundant throughout the world and is common in many cuisines.  Most commonly associated with the Mediterranean cuisines of Italy, Greece and France, basil is welcome in any kitchen.

Basil is very good with corn, cream cheese, eggplant, eggs, mozzarella cheese, olives, pasta, peas, pizza, potatoes, rice, tomatoes, white beans, and zucchini.

Basil combines well with chives, garlic, marjoram, oregano, parsley, rosemary, and thyme.  Sprinkle on fresh cut tomatoes and cucumbers then drizzle with olive oil.

When storing herbs and spices packaging is an important consideration.  Plastic zip seal bags allow aroma and taste to escape and shorten the flavor life of your herbs and spices.

We package our herbs and spices in food grade PET plastic jars.  These clear, dense jars allow you to see your herbs and spices while still sealing in all the aroma and flavor so you get maximum life from your ingredients.

Sprinkle on fresh cut tomatoes and cucumbers then drizzle with olive oil.
We are happy to offer the finest quality individual herbs, spices and other ingredients for baking and cooking at very economical prices.
