Uses
Dill essential oil is now used as a fragrance component in perfumes that deodorize soaps and cosmetics, as well as in the food industry (production of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and condiments). Although less commonly, it is also used in some digestive pharmaceutical preparations, such as the old "Dill Water".

Native to the Mediterranean basin and the Black Sea, dill is now cultivated worldwide. Also known as "wild fennel," it is a fully aromatic annual herbaceous plant, up to one meter tall, with a smooth stem, laciniate leaves, and umbels of pale yellow flowers. It grows preferably in hilly areas.
