About Dill seed

Dill seed is the small, dry fruit commonly sold and used as a spice. The seeds are oval, ridged and brown, with a warm, pungent aroma and a flavour combining herbal dill notes with a slight bitterness and hints of caraway.

It is sold whole or ground and used in pickling, seasoning and baked foods. Whole seeds release flavour differently from ground seeds, and dill seed should not be confused with the plant’s feathery leaves, which are also called dill but have a fresher taste.
