Dill Seedling

Dill is an annual herb in the celery family Apiaceae. It is the only species in the genus Anethum. The leaves, seeds and yellow flowers of the dill plant are edible. Dried dill leaves are called dill weed.

Dill is grown widely in Eurasia where its leaves and seeds are used as a herb or spice for flavouring soups, pickles, salads and other foods or can be prepared as a vegetable served with flattened bread.
