Red Basil Microgreen Seeds
Our non-GMO, untreated red basil seeds grow into aromatic microgreens with bold purple-red leaves and a classic sweet basil flavour. These microgreens are as beautiful as they are fragrant—ideal for high-end garnishes, salads, and fresh Italian or Asian-inspired dishes.
Red basil microgreens develop rich colour and a refined texture, adding elegance to any plate. They thrive in indoor trays with soil, compost, or coir, and though slower to grow than some varieties, the reward is a fragrant, gourmet crop that’s both flavourful and visually striking.
Supplied in 100% compostable, resealable, and plastic-free pouches, these seeds are perfect for low-waste growing at home or professionally.
