Dill is a versatile and aromatic herb prized for its feathery foliage and distinctively fresh, grassy flavor with subtle hints of anise and citrus.

This herb grows in slender, hollow stems and features delicate, fern-like leaves that are finely divided into thread-like segments and produces clusters of small yellow flowers atop its stems during the summer months.

The leaves, stems, and seeds of the dill plant are all edible and are used in various cuisines around the world. Fresh dill leaves are commonly added as a flavorful garnish to salads, soups, sauces, seafood dishes, and pickles, enhancing them with a distinct, grassy flavor. Dill seeds, often used as a spice, provide a slightly stronger taste and are utilized in pickling or added to bread, stews, and curries for an extra layer of flavor.
