Basil tea is said to help with dysentery, nausea, and stomach distress due to gas.rn• For the most intense flavor, basil should be added at the end of the cooking process. Prolonged heat will cause basil's volatile oils to dissipate.rnrn• Ground with garlic and olive oil into a paste, basil is a prime ingredient in pistou, a Mediterranean specialty.rnrn• Most other herbs tend to overpower basil's flavor and aroma, but oregano is one that is most often used in conjunction with basil.

The oil contains 1, 8-cineol, citral, eugenol, linalool, methyl chavicol, methyl cinnamate in relatively large quantities and bisabolene, camphor, cryophyllene, geraniol, and ocimene in smaller quantities influencing taste and action in the body.rnrn1 oz package for $5.98 rnrn4 oz package for $10.98. rnrn16 oz package for $32.98 rnrnBulk sizes and prices upon request.rnrnOrder now and get free shipping and a free herb, herb blend, tea sampler or heirloom seed of our choice.rnrnWe thank you for your purchase as 100% of our net proceeds go to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.rnrnhttp://www.localharvest.org/basil-dried-C23705
