Habak (basil)

Sweet, peppery, and unmistakably fragrant — this basil brings warmth and depth to sauces, stews, and everyday cooking. A staple herb in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean kitchens alike, Habak adds a fresh, slightly clove-like aroma that livens up tomatoes, grilled meats, soups, and teas. Sold loose by the ounce so you can buy just what you need, as fresh as you need it.
