Description
The first micro-herb in the Micropod family! đż
Bursting with sweet, aromatic flavour, Basil Microgreens bring a vibrant, gourmet touch to your spring and summer meals. Think all the goodness of full-grown basil; just cuter, fresher, and faster to use.
It's rare to find micro basil in stores, which makes growing your own extra special. Sprinkle them over pastas, pizzas, salads, or even desserts for a fragrant finish that tastes like sunshine.
âł A little more patient than the rest â Basil takes around 12-18 days to grow, but itâs worth every day.
FLAVOUR:
Basil microgreens have that classic, unmistakable basil aroma â sweet, slightly peppery, and beautifully fragrant. Compared to mature basil, these microgreens are softer, sweeter and milder, with a clean, herbaceous note that lifts any dish.
They add a fresh pop of summer flavour without overpowering other ingredients â a perfect finishing touch for Mediterranean, Asian, or fusion-style dishes.
USE ME IN:
Basil microgreens are as versatile as they are delicious. Use them anywhere youâd add a hint of basil or a fresh green garnish:
-
Pasta & Pizza: Sprinkle on just before serving for a burst of flavour and colour.
-
Salads & Bowls: Mix through for a bright, aromatic twist.
-
Tomato Dishes: They pair beautifully with tomato, mozzarella, and olive oil â a mini Caprese dream.
-
Sandwiches & Wraps: Add to elevate simple lunches into something special.
-
Drinks & Desserts: Perfect in lemony cocktails, panna cottas, or alongside strawberries for a refreshing surprise. Get creative!
NUTRITION:Â
Small but mighty, basil microgreens are packed with antioxidants, vitamins A, C, and K, and essential minerals like iron, calcium, and magnesium.Â
Theyâre known for their anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, and like all microgreens, they can contain up to 40x more nutrients than their mature plant counterparts.
Growing and eating them fresh means youâre getting all that goodness at its peak.

FAQs
What is the optimum growing temperature?
Microgreens can be grown indoors all year round and temperature plays a major role in how quickly microgreens grow.
Generally, between 18â24 degrees celcius is optimal.
Below 12 degrees and the microgreens will struggle to germinate and above 25 degrees they're may get too hot and start "cooking" the seeds.
Do the microgreens re-grow once harvested?
Each seedmat is single-use and will not re-grow once harvested. When you have finished a mat, you'll need to start a new seedmat.
Pod tip: you can throw the used mat into your garden and you'll soon find vegetables will start popping up from the slower growing seeds!
Can I use my own seeds?
You can use your own seeds on our growmats, but not the seedmats.
Our SEEDMATS come pre-loaded with over 440 microgreen seeds per mat as well as a touch of plant nutrients to help them grow lush and tasty. Because they are already seeded, you can't use your own seeds.
Our latest GROWMATS however, do allow you to use your own seeds. They are jute fiber and nutrient-infused for optimum microgreen growth. Use with our range of seeds, or sprinkle your own favourites!
