What it is
Dried dill weed is the dried leaves of the dill plant (Anethum graveolens). The herb is native to the Mediterranean and Middle East but is now grown worldwide. After harvesting, the dill is dried to preserve it and concentrate its flavor.
Why it's used
Dried dill weed is used as a flavoring agent in a wide variety of foods. Its fresh, slightly anise-like flavor complements many dishes, especially those featuring fish, eggs, and vegetables. It is commonly found in salad dressings, marinades, seasoning blends, and deli salads.
Health notes
Dried dill weed is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food flavoring. It is not typically consumed in amounts large enough to cause health concerns. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated dill and its extracts, generally finding them safe for consumption. No significant health controversies are associated with its use in typical food amounts.
Allergen info
Dill is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
