ORGANIC BASIL (MEDIUM CUT): Richly aromatic with a fresh and peppery taste and scent, the basil plant has been used in India for at least 5,000 years and is now a staple of multiple cuisines, from delicate Mediterranean dishes to fiery Chinese, Indian and Thai curries. A staple in any Italian kitchen, basil leaves are an essential addition to tangy tomato based sauces, rich pesto, creamy dips, roasted vegetable platters and refreshing salads, and our dehydrated organic basil seasoning delivers all that sun drenched flavor in a convenient and versatile form. And unlike fresh basil leaves which can deteriorate if they are cooked for too long, dried basil maintains optimal flavor to infuse your dishes. Our USDA certified organic dried basil is sustainably grown as a leaf crop in Egypt and United States, then dried and medium cut. Grown and processed herbicide and pesticide free, the resulting organic basil seasoning is non-GMO, kosher and gluten free. With over 18,000 organic family farmers across 6 continents, High Quality Organics Express were the first and only company with an all organic herb and spice line. We participate in the Fair Trade certification program to ensure fair wages for our growers, and provide only the highest quality certified organic ingredients to our customers. HQOExpress is North America's largest supplier of USDA Organic and non-GMO herbs and spices, since 1977.
