2 oz
$12.00
Classic basil. Reimagined in deep, royal purple.
If sweet basil is a summer afternoon, Red Rubin Basil is that same afternoon dressed for a dinner party. Carrying the beloved, aromatic sweetness of traditional basil with a subtle complexity that its green counterpart simply can't match, these deep violet microgreens are as much a sensory experience as they are an ingredient. Grown with care at Funguy Sustainable Agriculture in Brighton, MI, Red Rubin Basil microgreens are the upgrade your kitchen has been waiting for.
🎨 Strikingly Beautiful Deep burgundy-purple leaves with a velvety texture and rich jewel tone — Red Rubin Basil microgreens are genuinely stunning on the plate. They bring dramatic color contrast to pasta, pizza, caprese, cocktails, and desserts, turning everyday dishes into something worth presenting. Pair with Amaranth for a color combination that stops people mid-bite.
🌿 Aromatic, Sweet & Subtly Complex All the classic basil sweetness you love — floral, slightly peppery, unmistakably Italian — with an added depth and mild anise note that makes Red Rubin a cut above. Exceptional with fresh mozzarella, heirloom tomatoes, stone fruit, dark chocolate, aged balsamic, and anywhere traditional basil belongs — and then some.
💪 Anthocyanin-Rich & Antioxidant-Loaded The deep purple pigment in Red Rubin Basil isn't just beautiful — it's biochemically powerful. Anthocyanins, the compounds responsible for the color, are potent antioxidants associated with cardiovascular support, reduced inflammation, and cognitive health. Combine that with strong levels of vitamins A, C, and K, calcium, and essential oils with known antimicrobial properties, and you have a microgreen that's as functional as it is gorgeous.
Best used raw as a finishing green. Add just before serving to preserve color vibrancy and aromatic intensity. Exceptional torn rather than cut.
