Dill

Know your herb. This is dill. I dried and chopped it myself.
USES:  Fresh and dried dill leaves are sometimes called "dill weed" to distinguish it from dill seed.  Dill is used to flavor many foods such as cured salmon (gravlax), borscht, other soups, fattoush, fish dishes, cheeses, and pickles.  Dill seeds have spasmolytic properties and they prevent flatulence. They can be used as a herbal tea in the amount of two teaspoons for one glass of boiling water. This herbal tea can be given even to crying infants who cannot sleep because of the colic.
