Description
Dried dill is an aromatic herb that comes from the Anethum graveolens plant, widely used in cooking to add a fresh, slightly sweet, and anise-like flavor to various dishes. Its dehydrated texture allows its aroma and flavor to be preserved for longer, making it ideal for seasoning dishes such as fish, sauces, pickles, soups, and salads.
Dill originates from the Mediterranean region and Southwest Asia, although today it is cultivated in many parts of the world due to its popularity in gastronomy. It is especially valued in Eastern and Northern European cuisines, as well as in Latin America, where it is added to various traditional recipes.
Among its properties, dried dill stands out for containing antioxidants, vitamins such as A and C, and minerals like calcium and iron, in addition to aiding digestion and helping to relieve stomach discomfort.
In different Spanish-speaking countries in Latin America, dill may be known by names such as "aneto seco" or simply "eneldo". However, it is more commonly found as dill, especially in recipes that include Mediterranean or Eastern European seasonings.
