message: I edited the passage on freeze-drying a bit, as the following statement in the previous version appeared a bit strange:
: "Dill leaves must be used fresh, as they lose their flavour rapidly if dried; even freeze-dried dill leaves have very little flavour. It is thus necessary to grow a supply of plants, rather than store the leaves."
While dried dill indeed tends to lose most of its flavor, freeze-drying is obviously superior to regular drying. While it can’t beat fresh sill of course, freeze-dried dill preserves the flavour much better for at least some 2 months. --AAikio 18:17, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I've taken this out as it is not a genus name. Peucedanum graveolens (L.) C.B.Clarke is a genuine alternative to Anethum graveolens, but the only references I can find to Antidismatrabateon Estrelles Magnus are one to here, and one to a copy of here.

message: I think flower description in section "Growth" may be improved by replacing "small umbels" with "compound umbels", which better describes inflorescence of Apiaceae in general.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.45.12.68 (talk) 14:22, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

message: According to the article dill is used for 'Borsht' in Poland.
Well, i'm from Poland and i have never seen dill being used in any of the two common borsht varieties (in poland we have white and red barszcz (borsht) ).
What we do have is "Zupa koperkowa", which is simply 'Dill soup'.
It is a soup based on stock, dill and milk/cream. Often a cubed potato is added.
The soup is usually not acidic (regular milk/cream is used and not sour cream) which, in my opinion, makes is explicitly not a 'borsht'.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.87.238.229 (talk) 12:10, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm glad to see your comment.  Would you mind reading my response to the previous comment about the large paragraph that begins "In Poland..."?  Can all, or most, of the information in that paragraph apply to all, or most, of the countries that use dill in cooking?  Does the information apply only to Poland?  Do you have any ideas on how to either make the paragraph more concise (fewer words), apply it to more countries than just Poland (if correct), or break the paragraph up (into logical divisions) into two or three smaller paragraphs?CorinneSD (talk) 23:46, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dill in Poland 

message: I've been editing the whole article on dill to improve the style of the writing, sentence structure, word usage and punctuation.  In the section headed "Culinary use" I wonder whether the fifth paragraph is really necessary.  It mentions that dill is used in pickles and even provides a definition of pickles, which I don't think is necessary here.  The use of dill to flavor pickles is mentioned above, I believe in the 3rd of those short paragraphs.  Is the word "eponymous," which contains a link, so important that this sentence (which seems redundant) deserves its own paragraph?  Would anyone object to deleting this one-sentence paragraph?  (If "eponymous" is important, it can be inserted into the sentence mentioning pickles in the 3rd paragraph.)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by CorinneSD (talk • contribs) 23:11, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

message: Dill or Dilli or Dillia spelling among others is used throughout many parts of the earth, Africa the Far east middle east, the South Pacific, the Baltic region (Latvia, Sweden etc.) W. Europe (Scotland) It didn't cover all aspects like its supposed to. Just a biased lens. Otherwise why even bother posting such a section? 76.167.193.57 (talk) 07:06, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  The "Etymology" coverage is limited 

message: It looks like World Flora Online and Plants of the World Online have listed several other species under the Anethum genus:
* A. involucratum Korovin
* A. patulum L. ex B.D.Jacks.
* A. theurkauffii Maire
Are there any outside sources that can verify these species' existence & listing? -- Mat Kiyan (talk) 03:38, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
