Dill is a feathery, bright green herb with delicate fernlike fronds and slender stems. It has a brisk anise-citrus aroma and a soft, tender texture that bruises easily. Use it to finish salads, soups, seafood, and potato dishes, and to flavor pickles, dressings, and yogurt sauces. Sold as fresh fronds and stems; also available freeze-dried.

Native to the eastern Mediterranean and western Asia, dill spread through Europe and into North America with culinary and medicinal uses. It features prominently in Scandinavian, Eastern European, Persian, and Indian cuisines, and growers often succession-sow it for continuous harvest.
