BASIL - DARK OPAL
Ocimum basilicum
Dark Opal basil has sweeter microgreens than the genovese
types. Our Dark Opal has been selected for better consistency
in colour with very few, if any green rogues.
DIRECTIONS FOR SPROUTING
Basil seeds tend to stick together when soaked
and are best treated as a Micro-green and grown
in a tray or styrofoam box. Use any shallow
seedling tray and add good soil or seedling mix.
Scatter the seed thickly over the surface and
gently press your seed into the soil and keep
them damp by placing a cover of glass or plastic
over the surface until germination occurs. You
will need to spray them regularly to make sure
they do not go dry before germinating. Gently
pull the seedling stems out of the soil when they
have grown to 4-6cm high and then wash any
soil from them before serving. Alternatively you
can cut the stems just above the soil surface and
treat as a microgreen. They can be used in salads,
sandwiches, pita fills, tacos, garnishes, dips and
lightly cooked food such as omelettes and frittatas.
Basils are valued for antooxidant, antibacterial,
antiseptic, analgesic, antiviral, antispasmodic,
digestive, and tonic properties.
