Product description
"Lingot" organic dwarf basil seed pack, produced by Veritable.
Green dwarf basil is even more fragrant than classic green basil, while having a similar taste. Its refined and strong aroma pairs perfectly with raw vegetables, roasted vegetables, and pasta. It is also suitable for a seasonal fruit salad.
Green dwarf basil offers a mild, subtle flavour that is less intense than other basil varieties, making it versatile in cooking.
How to cook dwarf basil
Green dwarf basil is ideal for salads, sauces, soups, pasta dishes, pizza, tomato-based dishes, and meat dishes. It pairs well with ingredients like pine nuts, parmesan, garlic, and olive oil. Add it fresh after cooking to preserve its aroma.
Tips for successfully growing dwarf basil
Green dwarf basil grows in stages, with many branches, producing small leaves. Wait until at least 3 nodes appear on the stem before harvesting for the first time (approximately 15 cm tall).
From 4–5 weeks or once the plant has 3 nodes on its stem, you can begin harvesting. Cut a stem 1 cm above a node (no more!). Make sure to leave at least 10 cm of the stem. Prioritize cutting the tallest leaves and those shading other lingots. You can then enjoy basil weekly for 4 to 6 months.
It is important to trim and harvest basil leaves regularly.
