Nutritional Facts
Basil Duo Cress, which includes both Basil Cress and Basil Limon Cress, is packed with essential nutrients. These microgreens are rich in vitamin K, which plays a key role in blood clotting and bone health. They also provide vitamin A, supporting vision, immune function, and skin health.
These microgreens also contain antioxidants like beta-carotene, flavonoids, and polyphenols, which help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation. They are a great source of calcium, iron, and magnesium, contributing to strong bones, oxygen transport, and muscle function.
Both varieties in this duo also contain essential oils like eugenol, which may aid digestion and have antimicrobial properties, helping to keep bacteria at bay in culinary applications.
Storage and Usage Tips
Basil Duo Cress comes in a cress tray, allowing the microgreens to stay vibrant and fresh for an extended period. Store them on the kitchen counter for easy access, as basil does not tolerate cold temperatures well and should not be kept in the fridge. Room temperature storage helps maintain its flavor and freshness.
