Dill is an annual or biennial herb that grows up to 1 meter (3 feet) which is originally from South West Asia. Followed by tiny compressed seeds, it has green feathery leaves and umbels of small yellow flowers. It was popular with the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans, who called it "Anethon" from which the botanical name was derived. The word dill means 'to lull' which is referring to its soothing properties. It was used as a charm against witchcraft in the Middle Ages. It has been widely used when Charlemagne, Emperor of France, ordered the extensive cultivation of this herb since 1812.
