AIR-DRIED SWEET BASIL
Premium Dehydrated Culinary Herb
At Golden State Herbs, we offer premium air-dried sweet basil—a fragrant, flavorful herb ideal for culinary and seasoning blend applications, soups, sauces and marinades, as well as nutraceuticals.
We begin with the finest basil seed varieties and collaborate with local growers to cultivate a high-quality crop. After harvesting, our team carefully transports the basil to our processing facility, where it undergoes a gentle, slow air-drying process designed to preserve its vibrant green color, sweet, fresh aroma, and natural essential oils. Once dried, the basil is de-stemmed and milled to meet your exact specifications.
Why Choose Our Air-Dried Basil?
Locally Grown: We partner with trusted local farmers and use only the best basil seed varieties.
Gently Air-Dried: Our slow air-drying process preserves essential nutrients, color, and flavor—ideal for clean-label formulations.
Consistent Quality: Guided by years of hands-on experience, our harvest team knows just when each crop is ready. After harvest, it’s transported to our facility, gently air-dried, then carefully de-stemmed, sized, and inspected to match your exact specifications.
