Basil Powder
Basil Powder (Ocimum basilicum) is widely preferred in global cuisines—particularly in Italian and Mediterranean recipes—thanks to its sweet and slightly anise-like aroma.
Crafted with Tuna Spice quality, our basil powder is produced by harvesting basil leaves grown in natural environments under hygienic conditions, drying them in the shade, and grinding them at low temperatures. Thanks to its high essential oil content and stable color, it provides both visual appeal and aromatic depth.
