PURCHASE

When buying fresh dill, the stems should appear to have been freshly cut and the leaves should not be wilted.

    KEEP

    Fresh dill should be used within one to two days after purchase. It should be wrapped loosely in plastic. Dill can also be frozen and retains its flavor better than if dried.

      PREPARE

      Dill is a great garnish and works will with fish and egg dishes. The entire plant (leaves and stem) can be used based on your taste preferences.
