Description

Dried dill is an aromatic herb obtained by dehydrating the leaves and stems of fresh dill (Anethum graveolens). It has a delicate, slightly anise-like and fresh flavor, which adds a distinctive touch to a wide variety of dishes, especially in Mediterranean, Eastern European, and Middle Eastern cuisines.

The origin of dill dates back to regions of Southwest Asia and Europe, where it has been cultivated since antiquity for both its culinary and medicinal uses. Today, it is grown in many parts of the world, primarily in temperate climates.

Regarding its properties, dried dill is rich in antioxidants, vitamins A and C, and minerals such as calcium, iron, and manganese. In addition to enhancing the flavor of soups, salads, fish, sauces, and pickles, it is also attributed with digestive and carminative properties.

In the context of Latin America, dried dill may also be known as "dill seco" or simply "eneldo", as there is no very different regional synonym. However, in some places, it may be informally referred to as "hierba de los pepinos" (cucumber herb) due to its frequent use in pickles.
