Wow, whatever I did to put that picture there makes me look like a genius in coding.. I'm surprised. Looks like it belongs there. Dmsar 11:46 26 Jul 2003 (UTC)

There is also a species of dill cultivated in Eastern countries known by the name of shubit.
Countries East of where? Would prefer wording such as "cultivated in parts of $NeutralGeographicalRegionName" but don't know which one that is.

[edit] Expansion request: Medical uses
What were the ancient medical uses? Has the effectiveness for those uses been scientifically investigated? -- Beland 22:47, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Freeze-dried dill
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)
[edit] Drug
I've found information about the seeds used for a specific drug. Can some verify this?
Here is *unverified* information I've found:
DILL -- _Amethum graveolens._ Family Ubelliferae (Carrot family). Material: Oil from seeds. Usage: Oil is ingested. Active Constituents: Dillapiole (non-amine precursor of 2,3- dimethoxy-4,5-methylenedioxyamphetamine [DMMDA-2]). Effects and contraindications: See PARSLEY. Supplier: Spice section of grocery stores; herb dealers, MGH. Viable seeds; B, FM, G, NK, RCS.
[edit] I removed some citation-less "facts"
==Alternative Cultural Use== Oil from the seeds can be ingested as a psychoactive substance. It contains Dillapiole a non amine precursor of 2,3-dimethoxy-4,5-methylenedioxyamphetamine [DMMDA-2. The effect is uncertain but it is told to be good against stomachach in smaller amounts
