Growing Thai Basil Microgreens Seeds

Growing Directions:

Thai Basil is a mucilaginous seed, meaning that it develops a jelly-like coating when it gets wet. Mist more frequently to keep the coating moist. Grows very well hydroponically and does better in well-lit conditions. Basil grows more slowly than other micros, and the stems don't grow nearly as tall as most other micros. You may experiment with harvest times past 10 days. Thai basil is common in Thai and other asian dishes because it has a basil flavor with a hint of licorice/anise.

The flavor of micro basil is a bit more intense than adult basil.
