Dill (Fresh)

What is Fresh dill?

Fresh dill is a fragrant herb with feathery green leaves, widely used for its distinctive flavor in salads, sauces, and marinades. It is particularly popular in Mediterranean and Eastern European cuisines, often paired with fish, potatoes, and yogurt-based dishes.

Why do I have an intolerance to it?

Fresh dill intolerance can arise from the herb’s natural oils and compounds, which may cause gastrointestinal discomfort or allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Symptoms can include nausea, bloating, or skin reactions, varying by person and amount consumed.

What can I do about it?

If you experience intolerance to fresh dill, it’s best to exclude it from your meals. Consider substituting with herbs like basil or chives, which offer a different flavor profile but are generally easier to digest. Monitoring your diet and being mindful of potential allergens is essential for managing symptoms.
