McCormick Culinary Dried Basil Leaves, 22 oz - One 22 Ounce Container of Dried Basil Seasoning in Bulk, Pairs Well with Pasta, Pizzas, Poultry, Sauces and More

Basil is a primary ingredient in many kitchens due to its pungent aroma and fresh flavor with a sweet finish. Whether your restaurant serves up classic Italian pasta dishes or you frequently like to experiment with back-of-house recipe customization, you'll want to keep your spice rack stocked with McCormick Culinary Dried Basil Leaves. This dried spice is made using culinary-grade, carefully harvested basil leaves that are dried to help them retain their natural taste while delivering an exceptionally fresh flavor and aroma. You can use dried basil leaves as a substitute for fresh basil. Since dried basil has a stronger, more concentrated flavor than fresh leaves, you will not need to add as much to your dish. Substitute one teaspoon of dried basil spice for one tablespoon of fresh basil to enhance the flavor of your meals. Harvested exclusively for chefs, McCormick Culinary Basil Leaves will add depth and high-quality flavor. Your kitchen will enjoy several benefits when you add dried basil to your spice and seasoning collection. For example, with this dried basil, your chefs will be able to use your basil right out of the container without additional preparation. Each clear plastic container also features two labels with large-print text for easy identification. Though they're potent, McCormick Culinary Basil Leaves pair well with many aromatic spices to add an exciting flavor element to any dish. Mix basil with oregano, rosemary, parsley, thyme, red chile flakes and garlic powder for an Italian seasoning that works well on pizza, soups or sauces. While chefs commonly use chopped basil to make pesto, you can use this herb in many dishes beyond the bright green sauce. Use McCormick Culinary Basil Leaves to add subtle flavor and warmth to seared scallops on top of a basil and pineapple risotto. Since this basil seasoning is kosher without added MSG, you can treat even more customers to delicious dishes.
