Now is the time that you will find fresh dill at your local farmers markets and grocery stores. Dried dill can be found year round but is not as flavorful as fresh dill so go out there and indulge in the fresh herb. The herb which is native to Southern Russia, the Mediterranean region, and western Africa is widely available to those of us living in the United States and is a wonderful addition to salads, fish dishes and dressings.
Dill is high in calcium, iron, manganese and magnesium making this herb a great support for healthy bones. Studies have shown dill to have anti bacterial properties and help protect the body neutralize certain carcinogens and ward off free radicals.
The leaves from the dill plant can be used fresh or dried and the seeds are also a delicious addition to many dishes.
Try: Add dill to your next salad, bean dish, grains or fish and notice how the distinct flavors enhance your every bite.
