How can Dill be used?

In cooking or aromatherapy, Dill can be used in several forms:
- Fresh or Dried: Traditionally, Dill leaves are used in cooking, either fresh or dried, to flavor sauces, fish, meats and salads. The seeds can be used to flavor jams and preserves.
- Essential Oil: Dill Essential Oil should be used with caution (adults only). It can be applied to the skin, diluted in a carrier vegetable oil such as Sweet Almond Oil. It can also be used orally, diluted on a carrier such as a spoonful of honey.
Dill Essential Oil is also an aromatic oil that can be highly appreciated in cooking to enhance the flavor of a salad or dish.
