About Dill weed, fresh
Dill is the feathery, fresh, slightly grassy-anise herb that's the soul of Scandinavian and Eastern European cooking — the classic partner to fish, potatoes, cucumber and, of course, the dill pickle. Its delicate fronds are added fresh and late, since their flavor fades with heat.
Used as a garnish it isn't a meaningful calorie source, but fresh dill carries vitamin C, vitamin A, manganese and antioxidant essential oils. Like other tender herbs, its bright flavor is best preserved by adding it raw at the end of cooking.
A scatter of fresh dill brings a clean, cooling lift to rich and creamy dishes — especially anything with fish, yogurt or potatoes, where its fresh anise note cuts through beautifully.
