Description

Dill (garden dill) is an herb whose properties and nutritional values were already known in ancient Egypt, where it was widely used as a digestive aid. And the pioneers in the cultivation of dill are considered to be the Babylonians, who planted this herb in their gardens.
Dill was also known in ancient Greece, where both dill leaves and seeds were
used. It was believed that dill leaves added courage, so they were added to gladiator meals. Fennel leaves were placed over the eyes to ensure better sleep.
In turn, dill seeds were used to treat wounded
soldiers. They were also chewed to refresh the breath. In the seventeenth century, dill reached England, while it came to America with the first settlers.
Currently, dill is used in the food industry and in the cosmetics industry: the essential oils contained in it are used in the production of soaps, perfumes, creams, toothpastes, mouthwashes and detergents.
