It belongs to the Apiaceae family, which includes other aromatic plants like parsley, cumin, and bay leaves. Dill is native to the Mediterranean region and southern Russia but has been widely cultivated around the world.Dill grows as an annual herb, reaching heights of up to 3 feet (about 1 meter) with slender stems and soft leaves. Its flowers are small, yellow, and grow in umbrella-shaped clusters known as umbels. The entire plant is aromatic, and both its leaves and seeds are used in cooking.The leaves, commonly referred to as dill weed, are delicate and have a mild, grassy flavor that pairs well with fish, potatoes, and yogurt-based sauces. They are often used fresh to preserve their flavor and aroma, though they can also be dried for use in spice blends and seasonings.Dil
