Dill seeds are often neglected in our kitchens, but they still have enormous potential. While we mainly use the green leaves of dill for sauces and pickling cucumbers, the seeds are a concentrated blessing for the body and mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here is an overview of the reasons why you should include dill seeds in your diet:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First aid for digestion
Dill seeds contain essential oils (especially carvone and limonene), which have a strong antispasmodic effect on the digestive tract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Against bloating and cramps: They are an excellent remedy for bloating. They relax the smooth muscles of the intestines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Supports digestion: Stimulates the production of gastric juices and bile, which helps the body process difficult-to-digest foods more efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Relieve colic in babies: A decoction of dill seeds (similar to fennel or anise) has traditionally been used as a gentle remedy for colic in babies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Natural relaxation and better sleep: If you are restless in the evening or have trouble falling asleep, dill seeds can have a gentle, natural calming effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Calm the nervous system: The substances contained in the seeds help reduce stress and anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fight insomnia: A cup of warm dill tea before bed can promote a sense of well-being and make it easier to fall asleep – without the side effects that medications often have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Overall well-being and health: This little miracle offers many more benefits than you might initially think:
Fresh breath: Chewing a few seeds after a meal not only neutralizes bad breath, but also disinfects the oral cavity thanks to its antibacterial properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Breastfeeding support: Dill seeds are traditionally recommended for breastfeeding mothers because they support the production of breast milk (substances that pass into breast milk also support the breastfed baby).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rich in minerals: They contain a lot of calcium, manganese and iron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is the best way to use dill seeds?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Medicinal tea (infusion): Pour 1 teaspoon of finely crushed dill seeds with 250 ml of boiling water, cover and let it steep for 10\u201315 minutes. Strain. Drink lukewarm after meals or before bedtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the kitchen: Dill seeds are a great addition to baked fish, rye bread, baked root vegetables or hearty legume soups because they improve digestibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
