Dried Basil

Dried basil is a popular culinary herb that is obtained from the leaves of the basil plant (Ocimum basilicum). It is widely used in various cuisines around the world due to its aromatic and flavorful properties. 

Dried basil has a somewhat milder aroma compared to fresh basil, but it still maintains the characteristic sweet, herbaceous, and slightly peppery fragrance that is distinctive to this herb.

The flavor of dried basil is more concentrated than its fresh counterpart. It has a similar taste profile, including sweet, slightly minty, and subtly spicy notes. 

Dried basil is a versatile herb used in a wide range of dishes, including pasta sauces, soups, stews, pizza, salads, and various Mediterranean and Italian recipes. It can be sprinkled directly into the cooking or rehydrated by soaking it in water before use.

Storage: To preserve its flavor and aroma, dried basil should be stored in airtight containers away from light and moisture. Like other dried herbs, it should be used within 6 to 12 months to ensure optimum quality.
