Dill (Freeze-Dried)

Description

Dill is one of those spices that works in all kinds of food combinations. Any soup gets better with a bit of dill. Scrambled eggs, egg salad, tuna salad, and mashed potatoes also take on a whole new flavor when you add dill. It transforms fish and any chicken dish, too. And what would pickles be without dill seeds or stalks?

Dill is an ancient herb mentioned in both the Bible and 5,000-year-old Egyptian medical manuscripts. A few teaspoons of dill in a cup of boiling water makes a soothing tea for infant colic, calms nerves, and promotes good sleep. Chewing the seeds can freshen your breath and increase milk flow for nursing mothers. About a teaspoon of dill provides 43% of the daily required Vitamin A and 40% of the recommended Vitamin C. It also contains 18% manganese, 11% folate, and 10% iron, along with calcium, fiber, copper, phosphorus, B6, potassium, and more. Dill also protects against cancer—as shown in many studies.

USAGE: Dill is widely used in vegetable, meat, fish, and other seafood dishes.
