Basilicum - heel blad

I've been tossing these basil leaves into my pasta sauces and the flavor is noticeably brighter than the crushed stuff I used before. The whole leaves keep their shape nicely in the jar, making it easy to grab just what I need.

The whole leaves stayed perfectly intact in the bag, no powdery dust at the bottom like I’m used to. They’ve got that true sweet basil aroma that really brings out the tomato sauce in my Sunday gravy.

The leaves are so vibrant and intact, not crushed into sad little flakes like the jarred stuff at my grocery store. I used them in a slow-simmered tomato sauce for pasta and the whole kitchen smelled like summer. Will definitely order again before the season ends.
