Simply Dill

Ah Dill, a simple spice on top of fish and roasted on russet potatoes. But Dill is so much more :)

Dill, or Anethum Graveolens, has yellow sprig flowers. It's derived from the Scandavian Norse word (Saxon verb) "Dilla". It means "dull" and or to "lull" because the seeds are soporific---(helps sleep).
Some history shows it was the herb commonly used in magic.

Dill has no real healing qualities, its a cooing herb, but it's so great on cold pickled cucumbers!
