Dill (Dried)

What is Dried dill?

Dried dill is an aromatic herb obtained from the dill plant, often used to enhance the flavor of various dishes. Known for its slightly sweet, grassy taste, it is a common ingredient in pickles, salads, and seafood dishes, as well as in Mediterranean and Eastern European cuisines.

Why do I have an intolerance to it?

Intolerance to dried dill may occur due to the presence of specific compounds that some individuals find hard to digest, leading to gastrointestinal distress. Symptoms can range from mild discomfort to more pronounced digestive issues, depending on individual sensitivities.

What can I do about it?

To cope with dill intolerance, it’s best to avoid dishes that incorporate dried dill. Instead, you can use other herbs, such as thyme or parsley, to impart flavor without causing discomfort. Keeping a food journal may help identify specific triggers and aid in managing your diet effectively.
