Default Basil and Parsley thinning out

I've sown pots of Parsley and Basil they are all coming along nicely,

Question is do I thin them out to a single seedling per pot? as in will each little seedling produce a big plant or do I keep them in a pot and treat like the ones from the supermarket?

I've never grown herbs before so excuse my ignorance!!!

You definitely need more than one per pot but if it's looking congested then thin out a bit. You can always use the thinnings in your cooking however small they are they tend still to taste good and I hate waste!
