Dill, dill weed, or Anethum graveolens, is a quickly growing herbaceous annual. It has a flavor likened to the combination of anise, parsley, and celery with a mild lemon finish. 

Dill is a great source of vitamins A and C and a good source of manganese, iron, and folate. Living up to its name, Dill has been used since ancient times to soothe babies with colic and calm digestive issues. Dill is best used as a fresh garnish or a flavoring herb in cooking.
