Dill essential oil is an ideal household oil because of its herbaceous flavour. Dill seeds are known for their sharp, pungent, warm and tangy taste. The Greeks thought of dill as a symbol of wealth and the Romans believed it brought good fortune, therefore they would make wreaths of dill to adorn athletes and heroes. In the kitchen, Dill can be used in a variety of dishes to improve the flavour of salads, potatoes, fish, curry, vegetables and rice.
