Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use dried basil instead of fresh in recipes? Yes — use one-third the amount of dried basil compared to fresh leaves, as dried is more concentrated. Fresh is preferred for raw applications but dried works well in cooked dishes.

How should I store dried basil leaves? Keep in an airtight container away from heat and light — dried basil retains its aroma for up to 12 months.

Is basil used in Indian cooking? Holy basil (tulsi) is used in Indian wellness and cooking, distinct from sweet basil. This product is sweet basil, commonly used in European and South East Asian cuisines.
