BE A DILLWEED! EAT SOME DILL!

 

Dill Weed (Anethom Graveolons)

 

Fascinating, easy-to-grow, and delicious--dill is our summer blooming herb of the month.

 

Dill weed is known for being tasty in many recipes It's grown all over the world and known for it's delicious, unique flavor and beautiful flowers that are also edible. But, did you know it's a powerful yet gentle digestive? Eating dill in foods help you digest better. Dill weed contains numerous plant derived chemical compounds that are known to have anti-oxidant, disease preventing, and health promoting properties. This plant contains no cholesterol and is very low in calories. It contains many anti-oxidants, vitamins like niacin, pyridoxine etc, and dietary fibers which help to control blood cholesterol levels. Fresh dill contains high level of Vitamin C and A which are necessary to the body.

 

Greeks used it help them sleep and burning dill was sometimes used by the ancients to ward off storms! What a dynamic friend in the garden!

 

Enjoy dill fresh from the garden or store. Never take dill oil internally, and be sure to properly identify dill (and any plant you are gathering from an unknown source outdoors) before taking internally. Pick plants that are healthy looking. NEVER pick those growing by a roadside or have been sprayed with chemicals as these could contain serious toxins. Remember, fresh and dry dill have different ratios for cooking so always research how much to use before adding to your recipe.
