Our organic dried basil from Crazy Jack can be used in loads of dishes, but works particularly well with pasta, tomato sauce & chicken dishes. Add at the end of cooking for the strongest flavour. The Basil comes from the sunny climes of Egypt, where they find the highest & most consistent quality. It makes perfect sense for Abel & Cole to offer Crazy Jack organic products because sustainability is the core of the Crazy Jack philosophy. Back in the 1970's, wholefoods were seen as a fad…natural food was seen as 'alternative'! So Crazy Jack persevered, & is still sourcing food grown in a manner that is not damaging to the environment or potentially harmful to humans.
