Green basil is an aromatic herbaceous plant of the bright green family, whose young sprouts have high nutritional and biological value, and give dishes a unique flavor and aroma.

More delicate than adult basil, it's perfect for Mediterranean and Italian cuisine.

Botanical name: Ocimum basilicum, which means "royal basil" in Greek.

How to properly grow

To avoid making mistakes when growing basil seedlings, follow these basic rules:

Substrate - use soil, coconut fiber, perlite, vermiculite, linen napkins, or hydroponics.
The capacity is small; a tray, container, or special germination kit is suitable.
The temperature is moderate, between 18 and 25°C.
Light - basil needs enough light for normal development and photosynthesis. It can grow in both natural and artificial light.
Watering - as needed to keep the substrate slightly moist. It's better to use a spray bottle.

Basil microgreens can usually be cut 10-14 days after sowing, when they reach a height of 10 cm and form the first true leaves. The cut greens are best eaten immediately; stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days.
