Basil
Basil (Ocimum basilicum) is a fragrant, antioxidant-rich herb widely used in Italian, Mediterranean, and Asian cuisines. Known for its intense aroma and fresh scent, basil adds depth and character to a variety of dishes.
In its dried form, basil is a versatile ingredient used in everything from sauces and meat dishes to pizza, pasta recipes, and herbal teas.
At Tuna Spice, we carefully select high-quality basil, dry it to preserve its color and aroma, and process it under strict hygienic conditions.
