Product Details
There is nothing like the aroma of basil! Basil microgreens have a milder flavor than full grown, so more is more with these little guys. Basil microgreens can be grown indoors at any time of year and are a nutrient-packed way to get your "green fix" in the dead of winter. Move containers as needed for best light exposure and temperature (65°-75°F). Basil microgreens are ready to harvest in about 16 to 25 days after sowing, when they have cotyledons (first leaves), or when the first true leaves (second set of leaves) have begun to form, depending on preference.
Mix includes: 90% Genovese basil and 10% Dark Opal basil

Growing Info
Harvesting: When seedlings emerge, the first pair of leaves to show are the cotyledons, which can look very different from the leaves that follow, called "true" leaves. Microgreens are ready to harvest when they have cotyledons, or when the first true leaves have begun to form, depending on preference. Cool growing temperatures may slow the expected amount of days to maturity. Using scissors, cut microgreens just above the soil line when you are ready to use them.

This seed has a AMAZING! I started them and they germinated in 2 days! Plus they thrive inside where I snip them for cooking. I have restarted seeds now a second time and will keep these as a kitchen staple.

I have decided to grow microgreens in my art studio so I can baby them along through my day. The quick growth is a joy to watch! I was inspired after watching Kevin's videos on growing microgreens and also learning about the nutritional value of eating greens as well as sprouts. Great company with good support via email. So glad I found your company!

I buy seeds right here in Colorado where the growing seasons are short at about 3-4 months long. Growing microgreens such as Ciao Bella Basil Blend Microgreens Seeds is a great way to beat Mother Nature. It is also a quick and healthy way to augment salads with a tasty high nutritional content vegetable. My wife and I really like basil. Most microgreens can be harvested in 7-14 days. Easy! Try it!!
