13 Dill Anethum graveolens Dill (Anethum graveolens), also known as Lao coriander, depending on where it is grown, is either a perennial or annual herb. It is the sole species of the genus Anethum. Dill is widely grown in Eurasia where its leaves and seeds are used as a herb or spice for flavouring food. Like caraway, the fern-like leaves of dill are aromatic and are used to flavor many foods such as gravlax (cured salmon) and other fish dishes, borscht and other soups, as well as pickles (where the dill flower is sometimes used). Dill is best when used fresh as it loses its flavor rapidly if dried; however, freeze-dried dill leaves retain their flavor relatively well for a few months [Wikipedia]. 29584 Dill 13.jpg image/jpeg 121803 2012-04-20T09:32:14Z 13 Herbs and Spices Herbs Type 1 2011-02-09T00:37:15Z 2019-05-14T18:04:13Z true specific 40922 true FOOD00013
