Origin of Dill Oil
Originally from South West Asia, Dill is an annual or biennial herb that grows up to 1 meter (3 feet). 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. The common name comes from the Anglo-Saxon 'dylle' or'dylla', which then changed to dill. The
word means 'to lull' - referring to its soothing properties. In the Middle Ages it was used as a charm against
witchcraft. Since 1812, when Charlemagne, Emperor of France, ordered the extensive cultivation of this
herb, it has been widely used, especially as a culinary herb.
Dill is said to have originated in the Eastern Mediterranean. The name originated from dylle which means
to “soothe or lull.” Charlemagne of France was reputed to have ordered
that the herb be profusely cultivated. It has been used in both food and medicine over the years in myriad cultures.
