HERB - Dill

[Ted Kubricht]

Greetings all:

I've heard that in ancient times dill was used as a cure or preventative for
gas and belching.   Until the last century, when new "burpless" types were
cultivated, all cucumbers were prone to cause excess gassiness.   That is
why pickles are usually put up with dill.   I've used dill to calm a gassy
stomach and it seems to work pretty well.   Try adding it to foods that
cause gassiness, such as beans or coleslaw, and see what happens.
