Basil Microgreens Seeds
Microgreen Seeds from Sow Seeds Ltd
Basil Microgreens is a mucilaginous seed, meaning that when the seed is in contact with water it creates a gel like coating around the seed which holds moisture. Grown as a microgreen, Basil has a stronger taste, slightly sweeter, and more tender.
The Basil that we sell for microgreens is a Sweet Genovese type, being the most popular and traditional of Basils.

Basil Microgreen Seeds
Culture
No need to soak the seeds in advance,
1. Sow your seeds directly on thoroughly moistened medium in a tray with holes, place in another tray without holes
2. No need to cover as Bail needs light to germinate
3. Keep the medium moist by watering lightly as needed. Don't drench!
4. Harvest when the leaves are 2.5cm - 5cm tall, around day 14-21, using scissors or a sharp knife and cut just above the medium
