Did you know?

Dill leaf and dill seed count as different spices: the seed is sharper, closer to caraway, and a classic in pickling brines. Its name derives from an old word meaning to soothe.

Consumption tip

Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
