Botanical Identity
Basil belongs to the Lamiaceae family. Its accepted botanical name is Ocimum basilicum L. Commercial names include basil leaves, sweet basil leaves and dried basil leaf.
In Persian, basil is known as Reyhan (ریحان), and the dried leaves are called Barg-e Khoshk-e Reyhan (برگ خشک ریحان).
Green and purple basil leaf options can be specified when enquiring. Any requirement for a particular cultivar, regional source or aroma profile should be stated before quotation and checked against the available material.
The leaves and seeds are separate commercial plant parts with different specifications. This product page covers dried leaf material only.
