605S Whole Basil, All-Natural, Irradiated, Dried, 25-lb Box, 20 bx/plt

All-natural, field fresh basil leaves are dehydrated whole to help retain the herb's natural flavors and provide culinary delight to a range of foods. With a slightly sweet odor, there is a somewhat peppery taste with notes of mint, anise, and clove, giving it an earthy, fresh essence popular among Italian and Mediterranean cuisines. The dried leaves are also treated with irradiation to reduce the risk of foodborne illnesses by eliminating harmful bacteria and pathogens that may be present. As one of the world's most popular herbs, dried basil leaf is used in a wide variety of applications, including seasoning blends, salad dressings, sauces, soups, cheese and dairy, and many more food processing applications. The standard package is a poly bag within a corrugated box.
