Basil (.8 oz)

Dried basil is an herb with a sweet and slightly peppery flavor that is widely used in Italian, Greek, and Thai cuisine. To cook with dried basil, it is best to add it to a dish at the beginning of the cooking process, as its flavor will become more intense the longer it cooks. It can be used in sauces, soups, salads, and other dishes. Ground basil can also be mixed in with spices to create a fragrant blend. When using dried basil, it is best to use half as much as you would fresh basil as the flavor is more concentrated.
