Egyptian Crushed leaves of Basil are air-dried, whole-leaf pieces sourced from the Lamiaceae family plant Ocimum Basilicum. This culinary and medicinal herb is widely used in food manufacturing, herbal teas, and traditional remedies. The crushed form ensures consistent flavor release and ease of blending.
The product is cultivated in Egypt and processed using traditional air-drying methods to preserve aroma and color. It is commonly used in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and Asian cuisines, as well as in natural health products. The botanical origin is confirmed as Ocimum Basilicum.
This grade is suitable for bulk buyers in food, beverage, dietary supplements, and aromatherapy industries. It is not a substitute for essential oils or fresh basil. Always confirm organoleptic properties - aroma and appearance - upon receipt to ensure batch consistency.

Best Fit & Nearest Alternatives
Best suited for:
- Food manufacturers (seasonings, sauces, ready meals)
- Beverage producers (herbal infusions, functional drinks)
- Dietary supplement makers (capsules, extracts)
- Aromatherapy and herbal product formulators
- Cosmetic and personal care product developers
Not ideal for:
- Essential oil distillation (requires fresh or steam-distilled material)
- Fresh culinary applications (this is a dried product)
- High-moisture formulations (risk of rehydration or mold)
Compared to whole dried basil leaves, crushed basil offers faster flavor release and better blending in powders and extracts. It is less expensive per kilogram than basil essential oil but lacks the concentrated aroma of oil or oleoresin.
What Drives the Price
- Cultivation region and farming practices (organic vs conventional)
- Processing method (air-dried vs sun-dried; stem inclusion level)
- Moisture content and particle size uniformity
- Certification status (organic, kosher, halal, etc.)
- Packaging weight and material (jute vs poly-lined bags)
Pricing scales with order volume and minimum order quantity (MOQ). Larger orders typically attract tiered pricing. Request a formal quote based on your annual or monthly usage to secure best terms.
Lead Time, Shipping & Returns
- Lead time: Typical lead time from confirmed order is 10 - 20 business days, depending on seasonality and supplier capacity. Always confirm with the supplier during negotiations.
- Shipping: Common shipping modes include 20-foot containers for bulk orders, palletized LCL shipments for smaller quantities, and air freight for urgent orders. Packaging is 20 kg woven bags with inner liners.
- Returns & defects: Defective or non-conforming lots may be returned within 7 - 14 days of delivery, subject to inspection and supplier approval. Claims must be supported by photos and moisture analysis. Always perform quality checks upon arrival.
Handling & Application Notes
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve aroma and color. Use within 12 - 18 months of production for best quality.
- For optimal flavor extraction, crush further just before use or steep in hot (not boiling) water for 5 - 10 minutes.
- Not recommended for high-temperature extrusion or baking above 160°C, as this can degrade volatile aromatic compounds.
