Dill (Anethum graveolens) has been used in both culinary and medicinal contexts for thousands of years, with traces found in ancient Egyptian tombs. Many people refer to this feathery herb simply as 'dill weed,' though its aromatic seeds also have a distinct name and flavor profile.

Dill (Anethum graveolens) belongs to the Apiaceae family, a botanical group that also includes carrots, parsley, and fennel. While no herb is exactly the same as dill, tarragon is often cited by chefs as the closest flavor match, offering a similar anise-like profile.
