What it is
Dill weed oil is an essential oil extracted from the dill plant (Anethum graveolens), which is native to the Mediterranean and Western Asia. It is typically produced through steam distillation of the dill plant's leaves, seeds, or stems.
Why it's used
Dill weed oil is used as a flavoring agent in a variety of food products, particularly in savory applications. It adds a distinct fresh, herbaceous, and slightly pungent dill flavor to items like salad dressings, marinades, sauces, dips, pickles, and seasoned snacks.
Health notes
In the U.S., dill weed oil is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring. International bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) have evaluated dill and its extracts, but have not set a numeric acceptable daily intake (ADI). Research into the specific health effects of dill weed oil at typical consumption levels is limited, but dill itself has been traditionally used for digestive support.
Allergen info
Dill weed oil is not derived from any of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
