Produce Name: Dill Leaves

Availability: All Round the Year

Dill is a short-lived annual herb, native to southwest and central Asia. It grows to 40-60 cm tall, with slender stems and alternate, finely divided, softly delicate leaves 10-20 cm long. Its fernlike leaves are aromatic, and are used to flavour many foods, soups and pickles. Dill leaves must be used when fresh, as they lose their flavour rapidly if dried.
