Dill Weed, Dried Leaves

Dill Weed, Dried Leaves - spoon
(Dill Weed, Dried Leaves)  Both dill weed (dried leaves) and dill seed come from the same plant. Although we prefer using the dried leaves (see photo) in our recipes, fresh, dried or frozen dill seeds and flowers, as well as leaves, are also used. The flavor of dill weed has been described as bright, tangy, clean, and pungent. In use since ancient times, dill is indigenous to Europe. A member of the carrot family, or Umbelliferae, dill weed (Anethum graveolens) is a self-seeding annual with delicate lacy aromatic foliage, reaching a height of 3 feet.  See the nutritional chart below.

Vegan FlagThe above recipe is in keeping with God's creation intent (Genesis 1:29-31): 'Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground-- everything that has the breath of life in it-- I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.' (NIV) Let no animal suffer or die that we may live!
