Frontier Co-op Sweet Basil Leaf is a universal culinary herb (Ocimum basilicum) from the mint family (Lamiaceae) and is widely used for a variety of cooking needs across the globe. The leaves are organically grown and processed, kosher certified, and non-irradiated. This natural ingredient is sourced directly from Egypt.
Sweet Basil leaf combines well with garlic, parsley, rosemary, oregano, thyme, and sage. It has become a popular option for pizzas alongside oregano, and it can even be extracted to make essential oils. It is also used in DIY body care. Our Sweet Basil Leaf delivers a taste similar to anise, while also providing a strong, pungent, and sweet aroma. It is extremely popular in American kitchens due to its mild mint and pepper flavors.
