Brundo Spices Bessobela | Authentic Ethiopian Sacred Basil | Hand Picked and Processed | Harvested in and Imported from Ethiopia | Non-GMO | Organic | No preservatives (1 oz)

You've had basil before, as it's a pretty basic spice in anyone's kitchen. Maybe you've tried more exotic basils like Thai basil, or maybe even Lemon basil... but this basil is different. It's the holy grail of basil in my humble opinion!Commonly called Purple Basil in the west, this basil has a distinct scent of fruit, with berry like undertones, making for an interesting flavor that just works so well somehow. It's mild, and slightly sweet with a bit of peppery afterbite, which pairs perfectly with both white and red meats. I find myself reaching for it a lot and I'm glad that I bought such a large bag.The bag is resealable, so you can use it straight from the bag or put some in a container if you prefer. Another really good spice from Brundo, you can't go wrong with this brand!

Though I haven't cooked with this yet, I'm excited to find recipes that utilize this blend. I think I'm going to love it!

Perfection! No other herb substitute comes close. This made my homemade niter kibbeh and doro wat come out amazing. Very authentic, very high quality. If you're looking for the real deal to make your Ethiopian food as perfect as possible, this is it. Very pleased with my purchase.

I bought the besobila spice from this seller and I love it. You can smell the aroma of the spices as soon as you open the bag which is a true indication of freshness and quality of product. Highly recommend it!

The product arrived and is as described. I made my first ever batch of niter kibbeh with it and can't wait to use it in an authentic Ethiopian recipe. Thank you!

Best quality and great testing I love it

Toasted and ground this for shiro. The scent is just fantastic and the taste is even better.

This Basil is Special. I ordered it for a birthday present for a Chef-friend interested in Ethiopian Cuisine. I ordered a second one for me! I have to say, the basil is much more aromatic that dried basil that I am accustomed to and added a significant and wonderful flavor to the first dish I cooked it in. I will be encouraging my friend to send a review, as soon as he tries his gift!
