It appears in ancient Egyptian medicine and was prized by the Greeks and Romans as a symbol of vitality and good fortune. From there it spread across Europe, becoming inseparable from Scandinavian, Eastern European and Baltic cooking — think gravlax, pickles and creamy sauces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts name reflects its soothing reputation: the word dill is often traced to the Old Norse \u003cem\u003edilla\u003c\/em\u003e, meaning to lull or soothe, a nod to its long folk use as a calming remedy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBotanical characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDill is a slender, upright annual reaching 40–120 cm, with finely divided, thread-like blue-green foliage and flat umbels of tiny yellow flowers that bees and hoverflies adore. Both the leaves (“dill weed”) and the ripe seeds are used in cooking, each offering a different intensity of that warm, anise-and-caraway flavour.
