Dill

Dill (Anethum Graveolens) is used for culinary and medicinal purposes for hundreds of years. Apart from giving a strong, tangy, appetizing flavor, and taste, it may possess plenty of medicinal properties. These properties come from certain compounds called monoterpenes, as well as flavonoids, minerals, and amino acids.

Dill can be a perennial or annual herb, depending on where in the world it is cultivated. It can be used as a flavoring and garnish for a number of meals, but it is also used as an ingredient in many meals. For herbalists who want to grow their own Dill, it is important to cultivate this herb in warm to hot summers, with plenty of sunshine.
