Under suitable warm conditions, Thai Basil microgreens are generally ready to harvest in approximately \u003cstrong\u003e18–30 days\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSweet Basil Flavour with Anise \u0026amp; Liquorice Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThai Basil microgreens combine sweet basil character with a stronger \u003cstrong\u003eanise and liquorice-like aroma\u003c\/strong\u003e and a lightly spicy finish. Their concentrated flavour makes them particularly useful as a fresh micro herb rather than simply a decorative garnish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUse them with Thai curries, Vietnamese-style noodle dishes, stir-fries, rice bowls, soups, spring rolls and fresh salads.

For this reason, it 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 growing medium such as \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ozsprout.com.au\/products\/coco-fibre-growing-medium\"\u003ecoco fibre\u003c\/a\u003e, provide a short covered germination period, then move the established crop into good light with adequate airflow.
