Dill Microgreens

Anethum graveolens

About

Dill has been a fixture of pickling and seafood cookery for generations, its bright, feathery fronds instantly recognizable on any plate. Dill microgreens deliver that same familiar flavor in a smaller, more delicate form, ready to use the moment they are harvested.

Flavor Profile & Texture

The flavor is bright and distinctly dill forward, grassy and slightly tangy, more concentrated than the fronds of a mature plant. Texturally, the leaves are fine and feathery, similar in delicacy to fennel but unmistakably dill in character.
