00:00Our food adventure continues at Esmeres Farm here in Lilim, Laguna.

00:07And aside from coconut and other vegetables that can be found here,

00:11one of the herbs that they grow here is the herb called Dill.

00:16This is a herb that is a distant relative of celery.

00:19But unlike other herbs like basil and oregano that are often used in Filipino food,

00:25Dill is more commonly used in European, Middle Eastern, and other Southeast Asian dishes.

00:32You will recognize this because of its short stem and thin leaves.

00:39We use dill in salads.

00:43When we plant it, we make it look like bakud.

00:47The smell of dill is effective against pests that can damage other plants.

00:53But despite its intimidating appearance,

00:57did you know that it is very easy to grow and water dill?

01:01Step one, you trim the leaves.

01:04You put it in a bag.

01:07After a while, it will root.

01:09What we practiced is the direct method.

01:13Where we want you to cut, just extend.

01:18Just continue planting.

01:20It will grow.

01:21In Paso, dill is not very fat.

01:24But here on land, it grows better.

01:29I will remove the plastic so that it won't get in the way when it grows.

01:43It will look like this.

01:45Dill is low-maintenance, even if it is not watered.

01:49Just leave it on the ground.

01:51It will be fine.

01:54Here at Esmeres Farm, they use fresh dill to level up one of their primary products.

02:03Lambanog.

02:06Actually, when we tried it, we tried it on our barbecue.

02:11We made a dill pickle.

02:16Our lambanog or our coconut wine,

02:21you just soak it.

02:23It smells good.

02:24The smell that we make means that the meat smells good.

02:33At the same time, it is a tenderizer.

02:36Using fresh dill, we put it in a stupor.

02:40Next, we put the lambanog that we made here at Esmeres Farm.

02:46We mix the dill with the lambanog so that the dill juice will be absorbed by the lambanog.

02:59So that our lambanog will taste better.

03:03We need to leave it for a minimum of 6 months or 6 months

03:10so that our dill will be marinated with the lambanog.

03:19After that, we can filter it and it will turn green.

03:27And if you have a trip, try using dill in your cooking.

03:31I highly recommend you to try this fish and creamy dill sauce that I shared before.

03:38So food explorers, try the dill and grow it yourself.
