Dill Oil
Anethum graveolens oil
Dill oil is an essential oil derived from the seeds and leaves of the dill plant (Anethum graveolens). It contains a variety of compounds, primarily carvone and limonene, which contribute to its characteristic aroma and flavor. Dill oil is used in culinary applications for seasoning and flavoring foods, particularly in pickling and sauces. It also has potential health benefits, including antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. The oil is highly soluble in fats, making it suitable for use in oil-based dressings and marinades. Its volatility allows it to be used in aromatherapy and perfumery.
