Order: Dill

Dill

Dill is closely related to fennel. In contrast to fennel, dill usually forms only one stalk that can grow up to 60 cm high. The leaves are finely cut. Dille goes well in the kitchen with sour ingredients such as vinegar, yogurt and sour cream.

Purchases

Always buy dill fresh: the stalks must be firm and the leaves should not show discoloration.

Save

Dill is difficult to keep. Plucked stalks quickly become slack: therefore always use the dill as soon as possible after purchase.

Preparation

Fresh dill green is fine and decorative on salads. Minced meat is part of fresh cheese and in vinaigrettes. Fresh leaves also form an excellent herb in soups, fish dishes, mussels and eel.
Always add fresh dill leaves shortly before serving, otherwise, they will lose their aroma.
Dill seeds make heavier digestible dishes lighter, so they fit well in cabbage dishes and with oily fish.

Health

Dill promotes digestion and has a soothing influence.
