Cinnamon Basil Microgreen Seeds for Soil or Hydroponic Growing, Producing Tender Greens with Spiced Basil Flavor
Cinnamon basil microgreen seeds grow into tender, soft greens that bring sweet basil and anise notes with a hint of cinnamon spice to your food. The seedlings develop deep green stems and cotyledons, sometimes accented by light red shades.
Sow the dry seeds directly onto moist soil or a hydroponic microgreen growing medium without presoaking. Their natural gel coating forms when wet, so leaving space between seeds helps prevent clumping. Expect germination in 2–4 days and an estimated harvest window of 18–30+ days.
