Introduce a vibrant citrus twist to your culinary creations with MP SEEDS' Lemon Basil Microgreens. Scientifically known as Ocimum basilicum citriodora, these microgreens are renowned for their rapid growth, allowing you to harvest fresh greens in just 16-25 days. This swift development ensures a timely addition of zest and freshness to your dishes, enhancing both flavor and visual appeal.
Taste and apperence:
Lemon Basil microgreens are celebrated for their distinctive flavor and visual appeal. They offer a sweet basil taste complemented by a citrusy aftertaste, which intensifies as the leaves mature. Visually, these microgreens feature vibrant green leaves that are slightly smaller and narrower than those of Genovese basil, adding a fresh and appealing touch to various dishes.
Cultivation Tips for Basil Lemon:
For successful growth, evenly spread seeds on your chosen growing medium (potting mix or soilless mix), press them gently to ensure good soil contact, and lightly cover with sowing mix, vermiculite, or a humidity dome. Keep the temperature steady at 24°C (75°F) for germination, lowering it to 16°C (60°F) after sprouting. Maintain consistent moisture, but avoid over-watering, and ensure the seedlings get plenty of light once they emerge. Harvest when the greens are about 2-5 cm tall, typically after 16-25 days.
Health Benefits:
Basil Lemon microgreens are packed with Vitamin A, C, E, K, and B6, along with essential minerals like Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Zinc, and Phosphorus. They support immune health, bone strength, and cardiovascular wellness, making them a nutritious addition to your diet.
