McCormick Gourmet Organic Basil Leaves, 0.55 oz : Grocery & Gourmet Food

Description

Greatness isn’t made, it’s grown by passionate farmers from all over the world. Our commitment to quality means that you can trust the ingredients in every bottle of McCormick Gourmet and that they can help make flavors you love. For example, cinnamon product integrity is managed every step of the way, from source country to your door, by a comprehensive vendor certification quality program. And red pepper seeds must meet McCormick specs to ensure an optimum flavor and consistency. Without the farmers, none of this would be possible. We’re dedicated to their success, and that doesn’t just mean the success of their crops. To reach our goal of improving the resilience of the smallholder farming communities in India who grow our five iconic herbs and spices, we will continue to improve their livelihoods, empower women with access to education and skills training, and invest in water purification systems to facilitate clean drinking water. The future has to be sustainable, that’s why we’re dedicated to making a measurable impact with how our farms operate. Initiatives to help reduce our environmental impact include supporting farmers in implementing integrated pest management systems and teaching biodynamic farming practices to eradicate the need for chemicals. We’re also working with partners to prevent deforestation by promoting more sustainable land management practices. Sweet basil holds a place of honor in Italian cuisine where it lends its minty, anise-like flavor to salads, summer vegetables, chicken, seafood and tomato-based dishes. At McCormick, our basil is carefully harvested and dried to retain natural green color and fragrant sweetness. Basil is perfect partner for all things tomato. Slow-cooked marinara sauce, minestrone, tomato-based fish soups and braised pot roast are dishes in which basil really shines. A sprinkle on top of pizza or pasta adds instant pizzazz. Try whisking basil into a vinaigrette to dress a Caprese or Greek salad or adding it to a marinade for grilled pork or chicken. Toss vegetables like zucchini and bell peppers with basil and olive oil before roasting or grilling.
