Dukat Dill, a favored variety of the classic herb, enchants with its delicate feathery fronds and vibrant green hue. Its aroma is distinctly aromatic, reminiscent of anise and lemon with sweet undertones, intensifying when the sprigs are gently bruised. The fresh leaves are tender, offering a mild yet distinct dill flavor that is less pungent than other varieties, making it a gentle addition to culinary creations. Popularly used to enhance the taste of fish, potatoes, creamy sauces, and pickling recipes, Dukat Dill is also enjoyed in salads, yogurt dips, and as a garnish for soups. Aside from its culinary uses, the seeds and blossoms have applications in homemade vinegars and as a fragrant addition to floral arrangements. Nutritionally rich, Dukat Dill provides a source of vitamin A and C, along with essential minerals like iron and manganese, contributing to a balanced and healthful diet.
Nicolas Donck, a Belgium native, relocated to Georgia and started Crystal Organic Farm back in the mid-90's with a mission to grow healthy, organic produce. Many say he is singlehandedly responsible for introducing Atlantans to many plants of the endive and chicory varieties that were already popular in Belgium. Along the way, Nicolas helped found the Morningside Farmers Market and eventually met the love of his life, and now farm partner, Jeni Jarrard-Donck. Jeni brings an extensive knowledge of medicinal herb cultivation and usage to the partnership, making Crystal Organic one of the most well-rounded and diverse farms in the State.
