Dill



Dill seed is used as a spice, with a flavor somewhat similar to caraway, but also resembling that of fresh or dried dill weed. Dill seeds were traditionally used to soothe the stomach after meals.[4] And, dill oil can be extracted from the leaves, stems and seeds of the plant. In Arabic (Palestinian) dill seed is called ain jaradeh (means cricket eye) used as a spice in cold dishes like fattish and pickles. Suva (Dill) has very good Anti-Gas property and hence it's used as mouthwash (after meal digestive) and specially given to mothers as a post child born maternity care tradition.
