Dill Seeds

Description:Dill seed is a distinctive, perennial herb plant. It belongs to the Umbelliferae family and both its seeds and leaves are utilized as a seasoning. Being native to the East European and Mediterranean regions, dill seeds are light brown in colour, are oval in shape with a vertical ridge and flavor which is sweet, citrus, aromatic and slightly bitter. Just as the cilantro plant, this too needs well-drained fertile soils and warm summer climates to flourish. This herb is valued for both its flavoured foliage and pungent seeds. This should not be grown next to fennel as both are likely to hybridize.Uses:Enriched with mineral salts, these seeds are used in a salt-free diet. Dill weed is used in preparing dill tea or water that can treat hiccups, flatulence, menstrual cramps, stomach ache, colds, flu and insomnia. Apart from this it is also used for other purposes such as;
