### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by H***R on 26 May 2025*

You've had basil before, as it's a pretty basic spice in anyone's kitchen. Maybe you've tried more exotic basils like Thai basil, or maybe even Lemon basil... but this basil is different. It's the holy grail of basil in my humble opinion! Commonly called Purple Basil in the west, this basil has a distinct scent of fruit, with berry like undertones, making for an interesting flavor that just works so well somehow. It's mild, and slightly sweet with a bit of peppery afterbite, which pairs perfectly with both white and red meats. I find myself reaching for it a lot and I'm glad that I bought such a large bag. The bag is resealable, so you can use it straight from the bag or put some in a container if you prefer. Another really good spice from Brundo, you can't go wrong with this brand!
