Gastrodust Basil Garnishing Dust 30g

Basil Powder

Gastrodust Basil Garnishing Dust 30g is a finely milled herb powder that captures the sweet, aromatic flavour and vibrant green colour of fresh basil in an elegant finishing garnish. Made from dried basil leaves, this ultra-fine dust adds a delicate herbal note and striking visual appeal without introducing extra moisture, making it ideal for finishing everything from pasta and pizza to salads, soups and contemporary plated dishes.

Its light, silky texture makes it easy to dust evenly across food, allowing you to add a professional-looking finish with minimal effort.

Why use basil garnishing dust instead of fresh basil?

Basil garnishing dust offers a more refined finish and won't wilt on hot dishes. It provides consistent flavour and colour throughout the year while allowing for much more precise presentation than chopped fresh leaves.

Can basil garnishing dust be used beyond Italian dishes?

Yes. Basil works well in Mediterranean, Thai and Vietnamese-inspired recipes, as well as salads, sandwiches, infused oils, herb butters and savoury pastries. Its versatile flavour makes it suitable for a wide range of cuisines.
