The Beer Fox says, “A fabulous quick-bread easily blended in a food processor, with a wonderful dill aroma! The seed and feathery leaves blend pleasant, fresh notes with the distinctive, exotic profile of dill ether. Dill, indigenous to southwest Asia and India, moved through the trade routes into Egypt, and onward into northern Europe. You will find abundant varieties of dill served as vegetable dishes in Greece, India, and many areas of Asia, or as an herb in Western cooking.”
