Description

Basil traces its origins to tropical parts of Asia and Africa. Ancient cultures like those in Egypt used basil for its sweet yet spicy flavor as well as for its perceived medicinal properties. Basil powder is made from dried, ground leaves of the herb. It incorporates the signature warm flavors of the fresh leaves but with more potency. Basil powder adds its trademark aroma and taste to pasta sauces, salad dressings, pesto, roasted vegetables, and many meat dishes.
