Dill (optional)

Description

Dill is a delicate, feathery herb with a light green color and a fresh, slightly sweet flavor with hints of anise and grass, which adds a subtle aromatic freshness to dishes; as an optional ingredient, it works wonderfully as a finishing touch and decoration. In the kitchen, it pairs especially well with fish, potatoes, eggs, soups, salads, yogurt sauces and dressings, as well as pickles and Scandinavian dishes, where it enhances flavor without overpowering. Dill is low in calories, rich in vitamins A, C, and K, and minerals such as iron and calcium; it also contains antioxidants and essential oils that aid digestion and have anti-inflammatory properties. It is best stored in the refrigerator wrapped in a damp paper towel or in a container with water like fresh herbs; it can also be quickly frozen or dried to extend its shelf life.
