Basil – Thai Microgreens Seeds

• Growing Temperature: 70°F – 85°F
• Days to Maturity: 10–15 days

Aromatic and flavorful: Thai basil microgreens are a delightful addition to any kitchen garden. With their unique anise-like flavor and vibrant green leaves, they elevate dishes with both taste and visual appeal. These microgreens are rich in vitamins A, C, and K, making them a healthy choice for anyone looking to add fresh, aromatic greens to their diet.

How to Grow: Start by spreading Thai basil seeds evenly over a moist, well-draining soil medium in a shallow tray. Lightly press the seeds into the soil but do not cover them, as basil seeds require light to germinate. Mist the seeds gently and cover the tray with a humidity dome to retain moisture. Keep the tray in a warm environment between 70°F and 85°F, and mist daily to keep the soil evenly moist. Germination typically occurs within 5–7 days, after which the dome can be removed to allow the microgreens to grow under bright, indirect light or grow lights.

Harvesting: Thai basil microgreens are ready to harvest when they are about 1–2 inches tall and have developed their first true leaves, usually within 10–15 days. Use clean scissors to snip the microgreens just above the soil line. Rinse them gently with cool water and pat dry before using. These microgreens are perfect for garnishing soups, adding to fresh spring rolls, or infusing into beverages for a burst of fresh, aromatic flavor.
