Dill

Dill is a fragrant herb known for its delicate feathery leaves and distinctive flavor. It belongs to the Apiaceae family and is closely related to parsley, caraway, and fennel. Dill is widely used in culinary applications, particularly in European and Middle Eastern cuisines. Its leaves, often referred to as dill weed, are commonly used fresh or dried to season a variety of dishes, including soups, salads, and fish. Dill seeds, which have a stronger flavor than the leaves, are used in pickling and to add a tangy taste to breads and stews. The herb is also noted for its potential health benefits, including aiding digestion and providing a source of vitamins and minerals. Dill thrives in well-drained soil and sunny locations, making it a popular choice for home gardens.
