This Genovese variety - the most prized type of Italian basil known for its superior flavor profile - features green leaves, white stems and an intense and cooling taste that ends with delightful minty undertones! While all Genovese basil is Italian basil, not all Italian basil is Genovese - making these microgreens a true culinary treasure that gives each meal its own unique experience that's hard not to enjoy!
Cultivation tips for Basil microgreen seeds:
MP SEEDS Basil microgreens are a gorgeous and flavourful addition to many meals, but they can be tricky to grow. To get the best results with your basil crop, avoid soaking the seeds before planting - after first watering they form a special gelly pouch structure around the seed - thus type of seeds is called Mucilaginous.
After that place the pot in blackout darkness for 4-6 days, until stems reach at least 1,5 cm tall. Put them under light and and start growing as usuall microgreens.
After 3-4 days you can give them stronger light, as they love sun and it will help them to grow faster and stronger. As the seeds are small and the growing cycle is long, we recommend to use fertilizer to give all they need for healthy and fast grow.
After restless 2 weeks of growing under light you will get beautiful Basil Microgreens at true leaf stage ready to harvest.
They are definitely worth trying :) Good luck!
