Dill Stalk | Anethum Graveolens

Product Description:

Dill stalks are the firm, aromatic stems of the dill plant (Anethum graveolens), commonly used in cooking and garnishing. Known for their distinctive, slightly sweet, and tangy flavor, they complement the feathery dill leaves and are often used to add depth to soups, stews, and pickling solutions. The stalks are rich in essential oils, which contribute to their strong fragrance and flavor. In addition to their culinary use, dill stalks are valued for their digestive properties, helping to reduce bloating and indigestion. They are also a source of vitamins A and C, calcium, and iron. While the leaves are more commonly used, the stalks can be chopped finely and used in dishes or infused in broths for a subtle, herbal taste. Dill stalks are particularly popular in Scandinavian, Eastern European, and Mediterranean cuisines.
