No. 2 : Kitchen SCOOP

Dill is one of the herbs I love – that is often forgotten! Bright, fresh, grassy, and aromatic this herb is a perfect match for gorgeous summer veggies like this corn. But not only does it bring flavor to the table, Dill is packed with nutrition! Native to Southern Russia, Western Africa and  the Mediterrean, Dill contains both monoterpenes and flavonoids. Just like parsley, dill’s volatile oils qualify it as “chemoprotective”, a quality that can help it neutralize carcinogens like cigarette smoke.

No. 3 : Clever Idea

Think creatively when using dill: Potato salad, canned tuna, coleslaw, cucumbers, fresh shrimp, tomatoes and green salads all benefit from a healthy sprinkle of freshly chopped dill.
