Sold as a bunch and packaged in a compstable container. 
Basil contains many vitamins and minerals, as well as antioxidants such as lutein, zeaxanthin, beta-carotene, and beta-cryptoxanthin. Many of basil’s health benefits come from these antioxidants, as well as its essential oils. These compounds mostly disappear during the drying process, so get the fresh stuff from me!
Wonderful fresh basil pairs well with any dish you make from your own pesto to a nice red gravy for your pasta.
