DESCRIPTION
Bouquet Dill Herb Garden Planting Seeds
The Various Uses for the Bouquet Dill Leaves and Seeds
The plant is multibranched and grows yellow flower clusters. Dill is aromatic, has a hint of caraway flavor, and is lovely in a cucumber salad. The feathery leaves are used to season meats, particularly fish. Dill leaves are used in pickling, but not as popular as their seed counter-part.
Dill is grown for its seeds as much as its leaves. They can be stored for several years. Bouquet dill seeds are the main flavoring agent in pickling cucumbers.
The Benefits of the Bouquet Dill Herb
Dill is often brewed into a tea and is touted for being rich in antioxidants, vitamin C and A, and magnesium.
