How do you cook cinnamon basil?

Cinnamon basil is ideal for flavoring sweet and savory dishes. It goes well with Brazilian moqueca, poultry dishes, soups, sauces and desserts.

Chop cinnamon basil into your cakes, brioches, breads or fruity tarts, and enjoy the delicious cinnamon aroma. Cinnamon basil also goes well with tomatoes, in salads or sauces.

A heavenly match: a few leaves of cinnamon basil in a chocolate dessert or on a dish of strawberries.

You can also prepare an infusion of cinnamon basil by steeping the leaves in hot water for a few minutes. This creates a fragrant, soothing drink.

Our tips for successfully growing your cinnamon basil

From 4-5 weeks, or when the plant has 3 pairs of leaves, you can start harvesting. Cut off the main stem 1 cm above a node (no more!). It will grow back into two stems, giving you a fuller plant. Be sure to leave at least 2 pairs of leaves on the stem.

Never cut the leaves at the bottom of the main stem, as this will weaken the plant. You can then enjoy your basil every week for 4 to 6 months.

Cinnamon basil flowers quickly. Cut off the flowers as soon as they appear to preserve flavour and encourage leaf production. It's important to prune and harvest your herbs regularly, before the leaves reach the light.

Questions ?

Feel free to consult our FAQ for more information!

What is the composition of a Lingot®?

Lingots® are patented 100% biodegradable and compostable refills.

They are guaranteed GMO-free and pesticide-free.

The Lingot® contains:

- a natural soiless media adapted to hydroponics

- pre-sown organic seeds

- essential nutrients

The substrate is made of coconut fibers (peatless). This plant-based material is a renewable resources. The honeycombed texture of Lingot® enables optimal rooting and oxygenation, which guarantees a fast and healthy growth of your plants.

The majority of the seeds we use are certified organic, some are untreated (to know which one, look at the description of each Lingot®).

The nutrients integrated in the substrate are made of minerals and elements essential for growth and assimilated directly by plants. They are dosed precisely so that the plant uses them entirely during its life cycle.

How long does it take for my plants to grow? How long do I have to wait before the first harvest?

Thanks to the Véritable® garden technology, plants grow 2 to 3 times faster than in a garden. Some plants can be harvested from 3 weeks.

The speed of growth depends on the species and the temperature of your room.

For germination and growth time, refer to the Lingot® packaging, or visit the Lingot® page on our online shop.

What is the lifespan of a Véritable® Lingot® once planted?

Once planted, a Lingot® enables you to harvest your herbs generously for 4 to 6 months. Indeed, after each harvest your plant grows back!

The duration of a Lingot® depends on each species and how you harvest.

To know the life cycle of each Lingot® refer to the packaging of the Lingot®, or visit the Lingot® page on our online shop.

After 4 to 6 months, depending on its condition, you can compost your plant, or transplant outdoors.

My sweet basil Lingot® did not sprout, what can I do ?

In spite of the performances of our apparatuses and the care which we bring to the manufacture of Lingots®, it can arrive that certain seeds do not develop correctly because they are living products. It should be known that the natural rate of germination of seeds varies between 65 and 95%. It is thus impossible for us to guarantee you a germination at 100%. However, we voluntarily planted more seeds than it is necessary in each Lingot® in order to obtain a good proportion of plants which arrive at maturity.

To ensure you a maximum satisfaction, we offer a guarantee "satisfied or exchanged" on all our Lingots®. To know more about it, contact our Customer Service and consult our General Terms and Conditions.
