What it is
Fresh dill is an herb with feathery leaves and a distinct, slightly anise-like flavor. It is native to the Mediterranean and Western Asia and is widely cultivated today. The leaves, seeds, and flowers are all edible and used in cooking.
Why it's used
Dill is primarily used as a flavoring agent in a wide variety of foods. Its fresh, bright taste complements many dishes, especially those featuring fish, vegetables, and dairy. It is commonly found in pickles, relishes, dips, sauces, and salad dressings.
Health notes
Fresh dill is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of some vitamins and minerals, though typically consumed in small amounts. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated dill and its components, but no specific health claims are associated with its consumption at typical dietary levels. Evidence does not suggest significant health concerns from its use as a food flavoring.
Allergen info
Dill is not one of the nine FDA major allergens and does not contain gluten.
