Basil Purple Microherb
Basil ‘Dark Opal’ isn’t an easy microgreen to grow, but the rich dark purple and slightly liquorice-flavoured leaves are worth the extra effort. Micro basil “dark opal” is best used fresh as they are too delicate to withstand any high heat. Most commonly used as a garnish, sprinkled over salads, pasta, pizza, and meat dishes. They provide high levels of nutrients and have a fresh, clean flavour. This basil variety contains iron, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, vitamin C, and anthocyanins, which are antioxidants which offer anti-inflammatory benefits.
