Dill
Dill leaves are used in a range of cooked and cold foods. Dill seeds are dried and used as a spice.
One of the first foods that may come to mind when thinking about dill is pickled cucumbers. It's right there in the name: dill pickles. To get the most dill flavor, pickling recipes use both the leaves and the seeds. But dill spices up more than just cucumbers.
Dill leaves and seeds can complement eggs, beans, fish, creamy dishes, salads and vegetables.
Blended with chives and curry powder, dill leaves can make potatoes bloom with savory flavor and a fresh taste of the garden.
