Recipes and Tips:

Just like mature basil, Micro Basil Italian pairs well with many classic ingredients. These delicate microgreens are perfect for Italian cuisine, salads, sandwiches, and appetizers. Since they're quite delicate, it's best to use them raw as they can't handle high heat.

The mild and sweet taste of Micro Basil Italian makes it versatile for both savory and sweet dishes. Use it as a garnish on pasta, pizza, quiche, soups, and green salads for a fresh touch. You can even sprinkle it onto fruit salads for a unique twist. 

Feeling fancy? Add it to lemonade or fruity cocktails like mojitos, gimlets, or martinis for an extra kick of flavor. You can also mix it into dips, dressings, and sauces for added depth.

Nutritional Facts:

Micro Basil Italian is packed with nutrients that your body will love. Basil is an excellent source of Vitamins K, A, and C, which can help keep your bones strong and your immune system healthy. It's also rich in manganese, iron, calcium, and magnesium, important minerals that can support various bodily functions.

But that's not all - basil contains omega-3 fatty acids, which are considered good for heart and brain health. Plus, it may even help support liver health and protect against skin aging, thanks to its antioxidant properties.

Storage and Usage Tips:

Best kept in your refrigerator in their clamshell packaging. This helps maintain the freshness and flavor of Microgreens.
