basil leaves
|
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.
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.
