description Dried Dill Herb Overview

Dried dill herb is derived from the leaves of Anethum graveolens, an annual herb in the celery family native to Southwest Asia and the Mediterranean. The drying process concentrates the herb's volatile oils, resulting in a sweet, grassy, and slightly citrusy flavor that is less intense than the fresh product. It is a staple ingredient in the cuisines of Eastern Europe and Scandinavia, frequently used to season soups, stews, pickled vegetables, and fish dishes. It offers a distinctive aromatic quality.
