basil
Basil is a fragrant, peppery herb with bright green leaves and a sweet, slightly spicy aroma that instantly elevates vegan dishes — from fresh pesto and caprese salads to tomato sauces, soups, wraps, and Mediterranean-inspired bowls.
Flavor Tip: When cooking with fresh basil, add it in the last few minutes of cooking to preserve its flavor. When topping finished dishes, add just before serving to lend a note of freshness.
