Whole dried dill is a spice derived from the seeds of Anethum graveolens, an herbaceous plant native to the Mediterranean region and Western Asia. This ingredient is highly valued in cooking for its sweet and fresh aroma, with slight aniseed notes that impart a characteristic and delicate flavor to a wide variety of dishes.
In gastronomy, whole dried dill is commonly used to season fish, meats, pickles, sauces, and salads, as well as in the preparation of bread and traditional dishes from Eastern and Northern Europe. When used dried and whole, the seeds better retain their flavor and can be ground or infused in liquids to extract their aromatic qualities.
Properties: In addition to its culinary use, dill has digestive and carminative properties. It is known to help relieve stomach discomfort and aid digestion. It contains antioxidants and natural antimicrobial compounds.
Regarding synonyms in the Hispanic world, whole dried dill can be found under names such as "hierba de carpa" in some regions, although the most common and widely recognized term is simply "eneldo" (dill). In certain countries, it may be confused with other aromatic herbs, so it is always important to verify that it is the dried dill seeds intended for culinary use.
