Best Way to Eat & Preserve Basil Flowers When You Deadhead

[@MrShawnbfromjersey]

I use mine to make sun brewed iced tea. Along with marigolds hibiscus and geranium flowers

[@brokenroadhomestead609]

You’re still here! You stopped showing up on my home page, I thought you stopped making videos. Anyway, YES! Thank you for the basil flower info. I’ve been cutting them off and leaving them to feed the dirt. Really good to see you again, I’ll search if you don’t show up again. Your channel is good stuff.

[@pauladominique7885]

May not have the nutrition your drink does, but I love my basil flowers dipped in a batter and deep fried to serve as a side dish. Tasty!

[@makeastatement1]

OMG where has this blender been all my juicing life?! I am going to do this tomorrow as my basil is ginormous and has long strands of flowers and seeds that I would have just sadly have chucked in compost pile. Thankyou for this great video!!

[@manning2573]

I use my basil flowers in a cup of tea.

[@Bitseo]

I will try this.

[@isabelchilian2930]

Thank you for that wonderful idea.

[@charlinehenderson4996]

I’ve been leaving them on the plants so that I can get the seeds. I’ll try this out too

[@JCNWTL]

Hey just checking in to say I really appreciate your micro greens videos going back 5-6 years. Thanks!

[@emilybh6255]

Have you done a video on Perilla leaves/ Shiso leaves yet? They are extremely nutrient dense and easier to grow than basil and have large purple leaves that taste mildly minty and they are invasive like mint.To me they are a more healthful lettuce alternative and can be marinated and used to roll around food like Grape Leaves or eaten fresh. Asians use them in a variety of dishes.

[@pattyclarkson3]

I love, love, love watermelon and basil together.

[@jg0943]

I just happened to have some Thai basil and watermelon in the garden and followed right along. Great taste and very refreshing. The watermelon masked the black licorice flavor of the basil, which I don't really care for. Thanks, man!

[@mustwereallydothis]

I've always found dried basil flowers hold their smell and flavor much longer than the leaves. I usually dry both.

[@gpayneinc]

What a gem this channel is. Amazing work

[@shirleyk623]

I dehydrate all my basils for cooking with later. I understand why spices can be pricey. A lot of fresh leaves can dehydrate into very little dried spices. But at least they don't get wasted.

[@Bizzy-Bumble1131]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I'm new to in home urban gardening. I bought a purple basil plant yesterday and it has flowers. I wasn't sure if these were leaves about to bloom or a sign of something else. Now I understand the flowers may halt additional leaf growth. The various comments on what people are doing with the flowers is greatly appreciated. ❤

[@TheAdventuresofDrewandAmanda]

I use my basil flowers in herb butters. But I’m gonna try this recipe with mint flowers.

[@Itsme-jv4cd]

OMG! I have been pinching off all the flowers and tossing them . Now I will use them. Thank you for this valuable information.

[@3_up_moon]

I'm so glad you're still making videos, sir. Been a fan for years!

[@rehoboth_farm]

John doesn't like smoking pot because he's already *soo* high. Just a natural high kind of guy. Don't change John.

[@eyeYQ2]

Who says? You must not know him too well.

[@darylsturges3830]

Watermelon sugar high . Watermelon basil sugar hi Lovely herbs 🥰

[@WildOrchardOasisFarm]

Very timely as I was debating what to do with my basil this morning. I have lots of purple basil flowers which are so pretty but I think they need pruning.

[@FusionDeveloper]

I've watched your videos for YEARS. What you said at the end of the video about making unique content, I completely agree with. I can't think of any other youtube channel that covers what you cover. If you want to learn, your channel is where it's at.

[@Hayley-sl9lm]

I didn't expect to be googling acyl groups this morning. I like this John, you should have a plant biochemistry journal club! ;)

[@martinmartin691]

Wonderful video..... And basil grows like weeds.. so easy to propagate..

[@teabee44]

I love holy basil. Came across 1 a local grow story was throwing away last year and was able to save seeds and is now my favorite for smell and taste. Glad it it was already flowering when I got it.

[@koalamama2]

Me too! My favourite herb ever. The tea is so powerful it can even be used as a hand sanitizer. Lowers cortisol, anti-everything, tastes amazing, protected by holy goddess. Can't go wrong.

[@RedStorm.]

Oh crack me up..love your attitude.

[@alphaomega8373]

I love how he loves and hates the reefer lol

[@katiesioux7757]

I love making fire cider I gave away cute little bottles (cute little corked bottles from the dollar store) of fire cider and basil olive oil away for Christmas last year, it was cute and medicinal 💚

[@teelouise7680]

OMG I absolutely love this! Thanks I have a bunch of these growing and this is so helpful!🙏

[@Adrianucci73]

Thank you so much for the video! I was also debating what to do with my basil this morning as well. Great video! God bless.

[@Shodeen1]

Thank you so much! I didn't know what to do with baser flowers but now I can use it.

[@amaturearcadia]

when i was a kid my dad use to make wheat grass basil shots with an old chicken feed grinder. He would take the grind out and press the juice by hand. its a very efficient way of doing this too :)

[@albertbeauchesne2882]

I love you, my friend. Always fun and educating to stop by and spend time with you.

[@katiesioux7757]

My cinnamon basil is flowering and its so beautiful 💚

[@gazellecarlson6543]

oh nice i'm doing this..i'll keep that blender on my wish list

[@xqwisit]

Glad I found you! Thanks for more ideas on what to do with my basil flowers. I am curious as to whether the juice can be frozen or canned (guessing the heat would degrade the potency) for longer shelf life?

[@Lynn-TheSeeker]

Synchronicity ... I just purchased some basil seeds that were offered on sale from a local Michigan seed supplier! As always, enjoying your videos immensely and always learning something.

[@isabellyshelly8276]

Your garden is amazing! What's your daily/weekly/monthly regimen for it?

[@annhan777]

Thanks again. I’m sold on that blender. I’m also wondering if one can freeze this juice and if so, how long would it last in the freezer?

[@vickiscott301]

I have been looking everywhere for this info! Thankyou so much

[@NewMindGarden]

Absolutely amazing.. 🌷🌷

[@annhan777]

Thanks for a great video. I’m a real beginner with all this, I’m wondering how do you determine which leaves to use and which leaves to throw out? I noticed that some of the leaves have a little brown spot - they are not perfect leaves.

[@TheAdventuresofDrewandAmanda]

Excellent video. I learned so much!!

[@ZE308AC]

@Learn Organic Gardening at Growing YourGreens should look into growing African Blue Basil, because it is the few perennial basil plant that exist. This plant attracts a lot of bees which will help with better pollination.

[@katiesioux7757]

My purple basil is in the green house, i had to start over with thise seeds😔 the new ones are doing great.

[@chadnauman4057]

Great idea, thank you

[@lynnettetreen7684]

Excellent video!

[@thepandadan]

Awesome video thanks

[@MiracleTreeProject]

Great video John!!! God Bless

[@dipster14]

Big ass cheeba plant in the back was the first thing i noticed 🤣🤣 That blender is sick dude.

[@D3cyanide]

I love your direction and passion into not only the points that you cover but also your genuine determination to inform others of KNOWLEDGE. Just a Question of whether you edit/consolidate your own Content and since its understandable if you'd rather keep that professional and confidential, I would MUCH appreciate any DM's or emails from such a innocent source of Natural Knowledge. Almost up to 1 Mill Subscribers!! congrads Bro, stay strong (& healthy:) PS, Also noticed that you use Blendtech. Its funny for I helped working with them in Orem when they made a GIANT Blender encasing 3 levels of Dining floors for over 1 Mill xD

[@joshfowler8360]

[@markfcoble]

[@SuperBenjamin1965]

I have an herb snow dryer it's very good it was about $150 relative humidity stays at 45% has a timer for 96 hours I do my cannabis herb through it when I have access but I prefer the net drying I grow a lot of Basil I pretty much just eat it raw and put it on Pizza hamburger whatever I mix it up with vegetable stir-fry those juicers are really nice I could use something like that I have a foreman juicer but those are out of date have a good day

[@FusionDeveloper]

A youtuber I know, said that leaving comments, has the biggest impact on video being recommended to new people.

[@jessrouse8475]

You're brilliant..

[@tropicalfoodgarden3668]

That's so interesting. Thanks

[@luczbaybay228]

Thank you...i have basil in my pots and don't know how to use them bcoz my family don't like them in food. But i will try it with watermelon.

[@isabellyshelly8276]

Btw I bought that greenhouse you recommended and a similar one goes for at least double the cost. Thanks for the tip! Do you follow Matt Power's? Also, you make me 😂😆

[@Billybobjohngeorgejr]

Hey John, totally off topic of video above. What in your opinion is the sweetest Passion Fruit to grow in southern California? Thanks for your answer in advance and have a blessed day.

[@koalamama2]

Ask him on his next Q&A. I think he announces them under the community tab.

[@zainaraqs]

Amazing! Thanks :)

[@Robin.ThePlantPath]

We ALWAYS use the flowers and seeds.

[@landonkids4935]

Is purple basil considered holy basil? I am just getting started with all of this. Thanks, John.

[@koraktheape]

Always enjoy your input! Started sprouts because of you. Eating them in my eggs Benedict right now in fact ❤️

[@selinanguyentv5125]

ông chia sẻ hay quá

[@alphaomega8373]

Hey John just for giggle and winter material. How bout an indoor micro grow in a grow tent :D

[@chenoabryan8458]

that is bananas! wow! high tech super power preserving and juicing! wow!

[@chenoabryan8458]

i have a regular juice man, but i think i am going to dry my basil flowers for a reshi/basil tea......

[@cnjhendricks]

awesome!

[@bsaver5942]

I use them in any meal

[@ritadolphinstotts8223]

How about Tulsi, Indian Holy Basil? I want to eat those flowers too.

[@susanwurtz4344]

I use everything the flowers the leaves and stems I use a scissor to cut into small pieces I plant 8 different kinds of basil

[@EasyEarPiano]

Thanks John, so healthy! Have you tried Holy Basil medicinally? Resaerch study shows it destroys SPIKE protein in Covid19! Also I was researching Black Grass Jelly Plant (Mesona Procumbens / Palustris and reckon it looks exactly like Tulsi Holy Basil. This dessert is nicer than Bobo pearls imho

[@phillipsfamilyhomestead3260]

Do you ever dry your basil and store in a dry container for later use? Specifically the flowers?

[@freddythefrog]

what, terpines in basil bud? ha, ha : ) … we smoked anything and everything in High School lol headaches only… oh how times have changed 🐸 Happy Fall

[@raquelgonick1879]

Is this juicer better than the vitamix?

[@zhoulouisni10001]

👍👍👍good morning ❤️❤️❤️

[@brendaorozco1195]

Which one had the highest content of antioxidants?

[@gurmeshbanwait98]

How is your garden basil so long .

[@Preparedteacher]

Hummm, is it still beneficial if we don't have a vacuume blender casuee sadly 500-600$ for a blender is just not in our budget!

[@lilycardoso4679]

So are you saying if you don't have a vacuum blender, it won't be beneficial?

[@MrRWF2004]

I want to get Veld grape plant. It’s one the plant which we include in our recipe. I don’t find it where to get it in US. Can you share some details on it?

[@andrewfilippone2130]

Ebay

[@chenoabryan8458]

what kind of juice contraption is that? brand?

[@jennifergrana458]

So it's a bit off topic here but how can I save my mulberry tree?. Someone cut it down it was young and 3-4ft tall.

[@sgibau]

Is the stump still in the ground and sticking up above the soil line? If so, it will "probably" come back. Seal the cut end (with either wax or IV Organic Plant Guard) to prevent the stump from drying out and insect damage. Root the rest of the tree that was cut off. I've had cuttings (thick & thin) root in water and dirt with zero problems either way. Mulberry is a very hardy tree.

[@lamonarankin5504]

Where do I find more about the blender and oxygen extractor and special squeeze cloth?

[@growingyourgreens]

www.discountjuicers.com/dynaprovacuumblender.html No info on the cloth right now, its not available. search for "nut milk" bag. Any will work, but the one I use is the best one I found so far.

[@buzzwerd8093]

Put it in kombucha?

[@markfisher8549]

from 1 grow I have enough Basil flower top to last me 5 years LOL

[@sumthinyounevaherbavore9796]

Tips on growing lavender? I know they kind of like low water and we'll drained, what most plants would be considered abuse lol The fiber is good for you, drink all of it after making it :) I wish my BlendTec or Vitamix blenders had vacuum container options :O

[@jessrouse8475]

I've subscribed now 3x they keep booting me off . I never comment this is the first time lol just so you know if your subscribers go down

[@markus_selloi]

I donˋt get the vw tho

[@SnowCamo45]

💯💯💯🍻

[@AlvinMcManus]

That blender is spendy!

[@BushImports]

Why don't you just freeze dry it? That preserves most of the nutrients doesn't it?

[@ExistNNature]

seedless watermelon 🤔

[@daieast6305]

watch out, they will be outlawing basil if they learn how helpful it is... i do not get what is 'hair-brain idea' but i doubt it is a garden term

[@anitahamlin2411]

I'd leave the fiber in.

[@walkertongdee]

What's this have to do with the Grateful Dead? Damn that google is messin up!

[@mealex303]

Why you against oxidents? Everything needs oxygen to be

[@pesto12601]

He is on a blender vacuum kick the last couple of years.. sold tons of blenders without such a feature before - but now - he believes the oxidation during juicing is not good and the juice you get under vacuum is "better". Maybe he is right.. but I'm not spending another $500 to get rid of my Vitamix... so whatever..

[@markfisher8549]

600.00 for a blender! NO way bro Im a Poor

[@jpage1331]

Holy snitzzzz that’s a high dollar blender!!! So what broke people suppose to do!? Can’t use that with no power no way 🤷🏻‍♀️ so next suggestion is??? Then you said don’t need no 600 dollar press.. but that blender is 600 😂😂💯🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ next??? Good info tho.. 💯
