Dill is a herbaceous annual with pinnately
divided leaves. The ripe, light brown
seeds emit an aromatic odour. The leaves
have pleasant aromatic odour and warm
taste. Both seeds and leaves are valued
as spice.
European Dill (Anetheum graveolens)
is indigenous to Europe and is cultivated
in England, Germany, Romania, Turkey,
USA and Russia. The Indian dill (Anetheum
sowa), a native of Northern India is bolder
than the European dill. It is cultivated
as a cold weather crop in many parts of
India.
