Our living microgreens, Mint Basil Cress, are grown and distributed in clean, natural fiber and come in a cress tray to ensure maximum freshness and longevity. Store them on the kitchen counter for easy access, as basil is sensitive to cold and should not be kept in the fridge. Room temperature storage helps preserve its vibrant flavor and freshness.
