Freeze Dried Basil, 0.28 Ounce
Litehouse Freeze Dried Basil delivers the flavorful taste and aroma of fresh basil that you'd expect from freshly picked herbs. Our basil is a great complement to any meat, salad, cheese or tomato dish. One jar is equal to 3 fresh bunches! When cooking with our herbs, we recommend substituting one tablespoon of freeze-dried herb for one tablespoon fresh.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on 鶹. It also analyzes reviews to verify trustworthiness.
The minute I cut the bubble wrap off the glass jar I could smell that sweet basil aroma. Sweet, & savory. So much easier & Economical. Not bitter like dried basil. I can't wait to make my tomato salad. I will definitely buy it again.

"It's OK." Not quite ready for prime time. My wife and I love caprese salad and look forward to spring and summer when two very critical ingredients are at their peak. This would be, of course, tomatoes and basil. It turns out that great (fresh) tomatoes are now relatively easy to come by all year long as the campari type has become somewhat widespread and except for locally grown fresh picked, they are perfect for the salad. Basil is another matter entirely. If you live in a culinary wasteland, food desert like we do (Beaumont, TX), fresh sweet basil is only available for a limited time. Enter Litehouse Freeze Dried—from other reviews we were led to believe that this was the next best thing to fresh. Well, hardly. In fact, you are better off with the tubes of basil that you can find in the chilled produce section of your supermarket.
What Litehouse needs to do is freeze dry whole leaves.
I love using Basil with my pasta dishes and if I cant get it fresh, then this is my next choice. This brand of freeze dry basil is pretty good. I first found it at Walmart and when I could not find it again I checked 鶹 and they had it so I am a very happy camper. A definite recommend.
