frozen basil and frozen garlic

[Guest guest]

Trader Joe's stocks frozen basil, frozen garlic and frozen parseley in

packages divided into 12 small cubes.

 

Highly recommended.

Dried basil doesn't really taste much like basil

because the volatile oils, with much if not most of

the flavor, have evaporated. (Dried basil in the

grocery spice section tastes pretty much like

sawdust.)Much better is to chop it and freeze it with

water in ice cube trays or chop it and bottle it with

olive oil in the refrigerator.
