basil, with its broad leaves, fragrant and flavorful, is a fundamental ingredient in world cuisine: in addition to being used in various ways, from pesto to spaghetti to pizza, it is also an excellent insect repellent.

Having it at home, always within reach, is not only an advantage but also a great joy: it has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties thanks to its content of vitamins A, B, D, E, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus.

For basil cultivation, it is possible to use EVA H o EVA S; to obtain microgreens or seedlings always ready for consumption, we recommend using water with mineral fertilizer. Sow a whole packet to get microgreens or half if you want aromatic seedlings to keep always ready in the kitchen, which can last for many months.

Basil germinates in about 4 days and the blackout period it requires lasts about 5 days. If carefully cultivated, it can last for many months. It can be pruned as needed, and then it will regrow.

Il basilico ha circa 600 seeds per gram.
