Dill
Dill, dill weed, or Anethum graveolens, is a quickly growing herbaceous annual that completes its life cycle in as little as two months. With staggered plantings and regular trimmings the dill plant can continue producing tender leaves and edible blossoms into early fall. Dill leaves, seeds and flowers are entirely edible and commonly found in Scandinavian, Russian, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine. Having a different flavor than dill leaves, dill seed is more intense and has a less licorice taste. Dill seed flavor is enhanced by dry-roasting the seeds.
Dill is a great source of vitamins A and C and a good source of manganese, iron, and folate. Living up to its name, Dill has been used since ancient times to soothe babies with colic and calm digestive issues. Dill is also known to have antioxidant and antibacterial properties and has been used as a folk remedy for freshening breath and stimulating breastmilk.
While Dill is best-known today as a culinary herb, it has a long history in medicine and magic. Ancient Egyptians used Dill to ward off witches, while the Romans considered it a symbol of good luck, and the Greeks associated the herb with wealth. Europeans have historically believed Dill to be soothing, true to the origin of its name, and have long used the herb as a digestive aid. Puritans and Quakers even kept Dill seeds in their bibles to chew on during long sermons as a means of soothing growling stomachs and suppressing appetite, especially for fidgety children.
