Dill is an aromatic and common seasoning in American cuisine. Its bright flavor, which is slightly different than dill seed, is generally well liked. It has been used in cooking since the Middle Ages, where is was a well-known and common ingredient in witchcraft and, ironically, also used as a charm against witchcraft (yeah, it doesn’t make sense to us either). It is native to the Mediterranean and southern Russia. Dillweed is also known as dill or dill leaf.
