How to Grow: To grow Basil – Cinnamon microgreens, start by sprinkling the seeds evenly over a damp, well-draining soil medium or hydroponic mat. Lightly press the seeds into the surface without covering them. Mist gently and cover the tray to create a warm, humid environment for germination, which typically occurs within 4–7 days. Keep the tray in a location with temperatures ranging from 70°F to 85°F, and ensure the growing medium stays consistently moist but not overly wet. Once germination is complete, remove the cover and provide indirect sunlight or a grow light to encourage healthy growth.

Harvesting: Cinnamon basil microgreens are ready for harvest when they reach a height of 2–3 inches and produce their first set of true leaves, usually within 12–20 days. Use clean scissors to snip the microgreens just above the soil line. Rinse gently and dry before use.
