Information for dill in our free cooking ingredients collection.
Another member of the parsley family, dill has feathery leaves and flat, oval-shaped brown seeds. Both are used for seasoning. The leaves have a pungent, tangy taste, and the seeds have a bitter flavor with caraway overtones. Dried leaves are sold as dill weed. Dill complements the flavor of fish, chicken, eggs, salads, and a variety of vegetables. It is also used as a pickle flavoring. Use fresh dill leaves whenever possible; drying causes them to lose their flavor. The leaves also make a lacy garnish. Dill weed should be used at the end of cooking so it will keep its flavor. Alternatively, heat intensifies the flavor of dill seed.
