Dried Basil Leaves (Ocimum basilicum)

Premium Egyptian Basil Leaves for Food, Tea, and Industrial Applications GreenUp supplies premium-quality Egyptian basil leaves (Ocimum basilicum), cultivated in fertile agricultural regions and processed under controlled conditions to preserve their natural aroma, color, and essential oil content. Egyptian basil is highly valued for its sweet, aromatic flavor profile and its naturally occurring essential oils, particularly linalool, eugenol, and methyl chavicol (estragole). These compounds contribute to its distinctive sensory characteristics and make basil a preferred ingredient in the food, beverage, herbal tea, and seasoning industries. Our basil leaves are carefully harvested, cleaned, sorted, and dried to maintain product consistency and purity. Available in various cut sizes and forms, GreenUp basil is suitable for industrial processing, food manufacturing, spice blends, and herbal infusions.
