This concept is fucked (unless you need it for disability or whatever). Well, I guess in a roundabout way, I need it for disability or whatever: I'm too physically and/or mentally ill these days to take care of the repertoire of herbs I used to grow at home (basil/parsley/rosemary/dill/sage/cilantro), so they've all died (except some crispy parsley still hanging on.... though not for long, I fear), and my store didn't have any fresh basil (classic). So, I bought this thing. In its defense, this seems very convenient, doesn't have any allergens, and lasts much longer than fresh basil. It's also about the same price. Compared to the weird frozen garlic blops I bought when I was in a similar store-didn't-have-garlic scenario, this tastes much more similar to Normal Non-Tube Basil. It also smells the same as fresh basil. And since I was blending it into a sauce, the texture difference did not present a problem. So, what am I complaining about? I don't know, it's just very unappealing, since I mostly see basil as a topper or garnish and I don't want a toothpaste looking sludge as a garnish. But, maybe it has its place. Maybe I'll come around on basil tube after a few more gos at it.
Overall
Cost: 5/10
Taste: 6/10
Tube: Hmm/10
