Fresh Basil Leaves 1 kg

Frequently asked questions

How do I keep it fresh for longer?

Keep the herbs slightly moist but not wet, store them chilled and avoid crushing them under heavier items in the fridge.

Can I freeze it?

Many herbs can be chopped and frozen in a little olive oil or water in ice-cube trays, which is handy for sauces and soups.

How much fresh fresh basil replaces dried?

As a rule of thumb, use about three times more fresh herbs than dried. Add delicate fresh herbs at the end of cooking to keep their colour and aroma.
