Best Sweet Basil Leaf of 2025

"I absolutely love basil; the aroma transports me back to cooking with my Grandmother. There's simply no substitute for its flavor—bright, a touch sweet, with subtle peppery notes. I have always found Frontier to be my go-to brand for organic herbs, and this basil arrived smelling fresh and looking wonderful. It's a lot of basil, but I store it right in mason jars, ensuring I can enjoy its quality for a year or more. Basil is incredibly versatile! It’s perfect for pizza, pasta, or even in Thai curry dishes where it adds a fresh flavor. Honestly, there's a whole world of recipes that benefit from a good dose of basil!"

"I really enjoy using this basil for tea and cooking. The flavor is quite pleasant, and I would definitely recommend it to others."

"Having bulk spices is fantastic for someone like me who uses a lot. This purchase is much more economical compared to smaller packages!"

“I've been using a lot of basil lately, especially for my Alfredo pasta dishes. I decided to try Unpretentious Basil Leaves, and I was impressed. The basil is fresh and vibrant green, and the taste is excellent. I believe its flavor and aroma match the pricier brands found in local markets, but it's much more affordable. Given how much I use, this is a fantastic value for me. Five stars!”

“I appreciate having a large quantity of spice that I use in many recipes. It's definitely more economical than continuously filling up small bottles.”

"The fact that it's not irradiated really sold me on this product."

"While I wished it had a fresher basil aroma and taste, it's still pretty good for dried herbs."

"I enjoy the flavor, but it caked up incredibly hard and the closure on the top is pretty cheap, making it a bit of a hassle."

"I was searching for something without the anise-like aroma and this almost had it, which I appreciate."

"I use this to make sweet tomato basil spaghetti sauce when fresh basil isn't available. I really love this brand, as it's affordable and usually costs more than half the price of other brands."

"I was so excited to finally find Sweet Basil for sale! I haven't seen it in supermarkets for years. It's a main ingredient for authentic Italian red sauce and really enhances the flavor. The packaging is great, and the portion is generous for the price."

"I very much enjoyed this plastic container of basil. It had a pleasant aroma and a sweet taste when I added it to my food, providing just the right amount of flavor. I would definitely purchase it again!"

“I love the amazing flavor! I can't wait to order more.”

“I purchased this for my tea blend, and the quality is excellent! It always smells fresh.”

“Finding sweet basil locally was tough, so I was thrilled to discover it here. The robust smell indicates freshness, and it fits perfectly on my spice rack.”

“Newman's Own Salt & Vinegar Seasoning has quickly become a pantry staple for me! The balance of tangy vinegar and savory salt is just perfect, giving that classic punch without overwhelming the palate. I love how versatile it is—I’ve used it on wings, popcorn, and roasted veggies, and it always adds a delicious touch. It’s also fantastic on fries, even better than some restaurant seasonings! I appreciate that I can control the intensity, and the quality is top-notch since it’s gluten-free and kosher certified. This seasoning truly makes my homemade snacks feel gourmet!”

“I really enjoy the flavor of this salt and vinegar seasoning, but I did notice it tends to clump up after a while, requiring me to shake it to break it apart.”

“I found Newman’s Smoked Paprika to be the best among the three brands I compared. It has a deeper, smokier flavor that surprised me. I’ll be using it for my fancier dishes, while the other brands will be for everyday cooking. I highly recommend it!”

"I'm really impressed with the freshness and potency of this product. It's definitely worth the price!"

"I love the strong dill flavor and aroma. The size of the bag is also decent for the money. I would buy it again!"

"Initially hesitant about the large pack, I was pleasantly surprised. The bay leaves are clean and intact, unlike previous purchases. I'm so grateful to Frontier for sourcing such a fantastic product!"

"Happy Belly Dried Basil Herb has become a staple in my kitchen, adding a burst of flavor and aroma to my dishes. I’m impressed with the quality and freshness. The vibrant green basil leaves have a robust flavor that enhances everything from pasta sauces to salads. The packaging is great, allowing me to easily pour the perfect amount. For anyone looking to elevate their cooking with the vibrant taste of dry basil, I highly recommend it!"

"I love Happy Belly seasonings! They are fresh and flavorful, and I find them to be just as good as premium brands but at a much lower price. The sturdy packaging keeps them fresh longer, which is a big plus. I've tried several seasonings and they all exceeded my expectations. I definitely recommend them for budget-conscious home cooks!"

"I received my basil today, and it was sealed and fresh. The quantity is great for the price, and it smells wonderful. I used it in my spaghetti and it tasted fantastic. I plan to buy it again!"

"I found the taste to be great, but I was expecting whole dried leaves that I could easily remove after cooking. Instead, they were quite dried out and withered. I ended up finely chopping them and using them like any other dried herb."

"I received the Hida Beauty Dried Thai Sweet Basil Leaves, but they weren't what I anticipated. I usually prefer crushed dried basil, but these came as full-sized dried leaves in a vacuum-sealed bag. They are perfect for slow cooking, though the flavor is stronger than Italian basil, which my husband didn't appreciate as much, but I enjoyed it. The quality is really good."

"These dried sweet basil leaves arrived vacuum-sealed in a sturdy plastic bag and were packaged in a resealable, foil-lined Kraft bag. I found the quality to be decent. After soaking them in water, I added them to a Thai curry recipe. They delivered a nice, herbal-licorice flavor, though not quite as potent as the fresh ones. Overall, I think they're handy for Asian cooking and easier to store than fresh basil."
