Dried Tulsi, also revered as Holy Basil, is celebrated for its aromatic, minty profile with subtle hints of clove. Its delicate leaves are carefully dried to preserve their essential oils, resulting in a flavor that is both earthy and sweet. Favored in Ayurvedic traditions for its believed stress-relieving properties, Dried Tulsi can be steeped to create a soothing herbal tea or used as a flavorful complement in a range of culinary dishes. It's also commonly employed to enhance the taste of soups, stews, and sauces, adding depth with its unique flavor. Additionally, Dried Tulsi serves as an aromatic garnish that could elevate the presentation and taste of various recipes.
Nicolas Donck, a Belgium native, relocated to Georgia and started Crystal Organic Farm back in the mid-90's with a mission to grow healthy, organic produce. Many say he is singlehandedly responsible for introducing Atlantans to many plants of the endive and chicory varieties that were already popular in Belgium. Along the way, Nicolas helped found the Morningside Farmers Market and eventually met the love of his life, and now farm partner, Jeni Jarrard-Donck. Jeni brings an extensive knowledge of medicinal herb cultivation and usage to the partnership, making Crystal Organic one of the most well-rounded and diverse farms in the State.
