Dill

Dill, Anethum graveolens, is an annual of the carrot family (Apiaceae) grown for its feathery leaf and its ridged fruit; the seed owes its flavour to a volatile oil rich in carvone. Nustras supplies dill as dried leaf, whole seed, milled powder and standardised extract powder for the spice, flavour, food and herbal product trades.

It is formulated into spice and seasoning blends, pickling and sauce flavourings, snack and bakery flavour systems, herbal teas and tisanes, herbal capsules and tablets, and botanical blends.

The dried leaf is a green finely divided material with a characteristic aroma; the seed is a flat, brown, winged fruit; the powder is green or grey-brown and the extract a brown powder. Identity is confirmed by macroscopic and microscopic examination or by HPTLC, with volatile oil content standardised to specification. Heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies dill in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags and fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Dill is an accepted spice and botanical ingredient in major food and supplement markets; buyers confirm the permitted plant part, level and claim for their application.
