Growing dill microgreens is moderately easy. Like most microgreens, they can be cultivated on a thin substrate provided it does not become easily waterlogged. Sprinkle dill seeds evenly and at the recommended density and mist to keep the soil damp. Keep in a warm, humid environment and ensure the microgreens receive the correct amount of light. Germination takes around 4-5 days. Once the microgreens reach 20-45 centimetres tall, typically in 10-14 days, they’re ready to harvest. Selling dill microgreens presents a compelling opportunity. They align with health-conscious consumers’ preferences and their versatile use in diverse dishes caters to gourmet and health-focused markets.
