Dill

Dill is an aromatic leafy herb known for its fine, delicate leaves and distinctive fresh herbal fragrance. When dried, the leaves generally retain a green to muted green colour and a light, feathery appearance. Its flavour is fresh and herbaceous with mild citrus and slightly sweet notes. Dill has a recognizable aroma that distinguishes it from many other dried herbs. Dried dill is commonly used in soups, sauces, vegetables, potatoes, salads, pickling recipes and seasoning blends. It pairs particularly well with cucumber, yoghurt-based preparations, fish dishes and various vegetable recipes. The dried leaves may appear as small leaf pieces and fine fragments because of the naturally delicate structure of the plant. Dill can be used alone or combined with other herbs to provide a light aromatic and herbal character.
