How to Prep, Cook and Store Fresh Basil

Picking the right basil is important! Pick a bright green, fragrant bunch.

Make sure there are no black or brown spots and that the leaves are not wilted.

To store basil, first gently wash with cool water.

You can then store the basil on the counter in a glass half-filled with water.

How can also freeze basil in ice cube trays.

Fresh basil can also be dried in the oven or a food dehydrator.

Use fresh basil in salads, on pizzas, over pasta, bruschetta, or with tomatoes and mozzarella.

Or you can serve it in Asian dishes like noodle dishes and curries!
