Dill: has wonderful cool, fresh taste and aids digestion !

Finally the snow is melting and it looks like eventually spring will come to Minnesota. We had over six feet of snow this winter..unbelievable..this too shall pass!! In the mean time the simple act of sprinkling dill weed on my salads and on other food items such as salmon, rice, or green beans gives me that fresh taste that reminds me of spring and growing fresh herbs. I love dill weed on salads and in the summer when I have fresh dill I pinch off sprigs of the fresh and shred it over my salads. For now even the dried dill weed from the store tastes fresh and cool. Sprinkle liberally. Also just an FYI Dill aids in digestion to ease gas, bloat and heartburn. ( it is the limonene in the dill that helps with the digestion) who knew !!
