Euro Garden Dill

Product Details

Native to Eurasia and the Mediterranean, dill is most at home in warmer climates. If you're planning to grow them in your garden or greenhouse, then you must get the Euro Garden Dill. Dill is an annual herb, so to create a permanent patch of dill, allow some of the plants to flower and go to seed each year—you’ll have plenty of early dills to start the next growing season. The dill plant provides feathery green leaves for the dill weed herb, while the flat, oval fruits make the dill seed spice. It's an annual herb related to celery that tends to replant itself and spread widely, which is good to know if you're considering planting it in your garden. Dill seeds are used in seasoning, such as in pickles. Like chervil, dill weed is delicate and works particularly well with eggs or in salads. The flavour of dried dill weed is pale in comparison to fresh dill weed. If that is all you can source, use more of the dried herb to get dill flavour in your recipe. You can also dry the dill seeds and use them in your cooking! Dill tastes grassy with a bit of anise-like liquorice flavour. Be aware that once the weather turns hot, dill plants flower or bolt. This bolting changes the flavour of the leaves, making them less aromatic and more bitter. Because it has such a unique taste, a small amount of dill can go a long way, which is why dill seeds are great for seasoning. The feathery texture of dill leaves looks beautiful and a small sprig of dill can add a noticeable aroma to a dish. Dill is also good in salads and is the key ingredient, along with buttermilk, in giving homemade ranch dressing its unique flavour.
