Fresh Herbs Basil Bunch

Fresh Herbs Basil Bunch is the essential warm-season herb — intensely aromatic, with broad, tender leaves and a sweet, peppery fragrance that transforms a dish the moment it's torn. Nothing dried comes close.

Look for bright green, unwilted leaves with no blackening. Fresh basil is delicate and best stored at room temperature in a glass of water like flowers — not in the fridge, which blackens the leaves quickly. Use within a few days.

Tear over a caprese with mozzarella and tomato, blend into a pesto with pine nuts and parmesan, fold through a pasta at the last moment, or scatter over a pizza fresh from the oven.
