About the Botany of Dill

Dill (Anethum graveolens) belongs to the Apiaceae family, which also includes parsley, fennel, and carrots. This annual herbaceous plant is characterized by its hollow and delicate stems, reaching up to one meter in height, and its finely divided leaves, resembling a feathery appearance. The small yellow flowers grouped in umbels add a touch of elegance to the plant. Dill thrives in temperate and sunny climates, developing its best aroma before flowering. Its seeds, also used in cooking, are flat, oval, and emit a slightly aniseed fragrance.

Dill and Its Unusual Use

The name "dill" comes from the Latin "anethum," which means "strong-smelling." In the Middle Ages, some people wore bags filled with dill on their chests to ward off witches and the evil eye. Germans also created a tradition around dill, which involves placing the plant in the shoes of newlyweds to ensure the longevity of their marriage.
