Is Dried Basil as Good for Cooking as Fresh Basil?
When comparing fresh basil to dried, consider what you’re making as well as the cost ratio for your dish. If you’re making something that depends on fresh basil leaves, such as homemade pesto, then go ahead and buy expensive fresh herbs. But for cooked dishes, such as sauces that will simmer for an hour or longer on a stove, Member’s Mark Sweet Basil Leaves will be indistinguishable from fresh. Drying fresh basil does not dry up its flavor.
If your recipe calls for fresh herbs, use a third of the amount in the recipe. So if the recipe calls for you to add a tablespoon of fresh basil, add a teaspoon of dried basil, since a tablespoon equals three teaspoons.
