Dill

Commodity Overview

Good-quality dill plants should resemble fresh salad greens. Use dill for seasoning cooked dishes or as a garnish, but add it at the end of a dish's cooking time. It's sometimes also known as baby dill to distinguish it from flowering heads of dill that are available in the fall.
