Dill oil

Dill (Anethum graveolens) is an annual herb in the celery family Apiaceae.

It has green feathery leaves and umbels of small yellow flowers, followed by tiny compressed seeds.

It was popular with the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans, who called it "Anethon" from which the botanical name was derived.

Dill oil is known for its grass-like smell and its pale yellow color, with a watery viscosity.

Dill oil is extracted by steam distillation, mainly from the seeds, or the whole herb, fresh or partly dried.
