These slower-growing herb microgreens are particularly useful when you want a distinctive culinary flavour rather than another mild leafy green.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGreek basil naturally produces small, compact foliage. As a microgreen it develops tender green stems and cotyledons with the recognisable fragrance of mature basil. Under suitable warm conditions, crops are generally ready to harvest in approximately \u003cstrong\u003e12–16 days\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSweet Basil Flavour for Fresh Culinary Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGreek basil microgreens have a \u003cstrong\u003esweet, aromatic and distinctly basil-like flavour\u003c\/strong\u003e with a fresh, slightly spicy finish. Their compact growth and concentrated aroma make them particularly useful as a garnish for pasta, pizza, bruschetta, salads, sandwiches, soups and Mediterranean-style dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey pair naturally with tomato, olive oil, soft cheeses, eggs and roasted vegetables. Use them fresh or add them immediately before serving to preserve their delicate texture and fragrance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMucilaginous Seed Grown Without Pre-Soaking\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBasil seed becomes mucilaginous when wet, developing a clear gel-like coating around each seed. For this reason, Greek Basil Microgreen Seeds should be \u003cstrong\u003esown dry without pre-soaking\u003c\/strong\u003e so the seed can be distributed evenly before the mucilage develops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSow onto a fine, evenly moist medium such as \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ozsprout.com.au\/products\/coco-fibre-growing-medium\"\u003ecoco fibre\u003c\/a\u003e, cover during early germination, then move the established seedlings into good light with adequate airflow. Bottom watering is preferable once the roots are established.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAlso Suitable for Baby Leaf \u0026amp; Mature Basil\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGreek basil can also be grown beyond the microgreen stage. Sow less densely for baby leaves, or raise individual plants in pots, containers or garden beds for mature culinary basil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMature plants develop numerous small aromatic leaves suitable for sauces, salads, pesto and fresh garnishes, and can also produce edible basil flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFor Home \u0026amp; Regular Microgreen Growing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOzSprout Greek Basil Microgreen Seeds are available from \u003cstrong\u003e1g to 500g\u003c\/strong\u003e, with pack sizes suited to small home trays through to regular microgreen production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause basil seed is fine and mucilaginous, even sowing, warm germination conditions, controlled moisture and good airflow are particularly important for producing a uniform crop.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ozsprout","offers":[{"title":"1g","offer_id":42801873944819,"sku":"GREEKBASILSEEDS-1G","price":3.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"20g","offer_id":42801873977587,"sku":"GREEKBASILSEEDS-20G","price":13.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"50g","offer_id":42801874010355,"sku":"GREEKBASILSEEDS-50G","price":30.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"100g","offer_id":42801874043123,"sku":"GREEKBASILSEEDS-100G","price":55.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"250g","offer_id":42801874075891,"sku":"GREEKBASILSEEDS-250G","price":130.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"500g","offer_id":42801874108659,"sku":"GREEKBASILSEEDS-500G","price":250.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/1446\/5779\/files\/greek-basil-microgreen-seeds.webp?v=1759256059","url":"https:\/\/ozsprout.com.au\/products\/greek-basil-microgreen-seeds","provider":"OzSprout","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
