Sweet Basil Microgreens are young plants harvested when they develop cotyledons and the first pair of true leaves. Compared to mature plants, they contain significantly more vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Basil is a source of vitamin C, vitamin A, and B vitamins. Additionally, basil microgreens provide valuable minerals such as iron, magnesium, potassium, and calcium. Consuming basil microgreens supports the digestive system, improves appetite, and boosts the body's immunity. The young basil leaves are a perfect addition to salads, sandwiches, warm dishes, and especially tomato-based dishes.

Preparation for Cultivation

Growing Sweet Basil Microgreens is quick and simple, making it an ideal solution even for those without experience in plant cultivation. To begin growing, prepare a shallow dish or container, a special microgreens growing tray, or a pot. Line the bottom of the container with a thin layer of growing medium (such as garden soil, coconut fibre, or a microgreens mat). Then evenly sprinkle the seeds on the surface of the medium, ensuring they do not overlap. Finally, gently mist the seeds with water using a spray bottle. It is important not to cover the seeds with soil; they should remain on the surface of the medium.

Site Conditions

Sweet Basil Microgreens grow best in a bright, warm location with access to natural light but not in direct sunlight. The ideal growth temperature is 18-22°C. Excessive sunlight can dry out the medium, so it is best to place the microgreens container on an east or north-facing windowsill. Regular watering is key to maintaining the moisture of the growing medium, which is essential for healthy plant growth. It is recommended to mist the medium with water twice a day.

Growing Tips

Growing Sweet Basil Microgreens is a quick process, allowing you to harvest fresh leaves just 2-3 weeks after sowing the seeds. During this time, regularly mist the seeds with water to keep the medium moist. Avoid excess water, which can cause the seeds to rot. After 14-21 days, the microgreens are ready for harvest. The plants can be cut with scissors just above the medium's surface. After harvesting, the medium can be replaced, and the growing process can be repeated, allowing you to enjoy fresh microgreens year-round.

Usage

Sweet Basil Microgreens are not only a delicious but also a decorative addition to dishes. Their intense aroma and distinct flavour pair perfectly with salads, sandwiches, wraps, cottage cheese, yoghurt, and warm dishes. The young basil leaves are well-suited as an addition to Mediterranean cuisine, particularly tomato dishes, pastas, and pizzas. With their intense aromas and spicy taste, basil microgreens enhance the flavour of dishes while adding nutritional value.
