Native to the Mediterranean area and southern Russia, Dill has been used since ancient times with some of the earliest writings dating back to 700 BC. Our organic dill seed is grown in the US.

Dill seed is popular in German, Indian, Russian and Scandinavian cooking while the French and Italians are not big fans of dill seed and instead prefer the flavor of fennel in their cooking.

The dill plant is one of only several rare plants that produces both a spice and an herb (Cilantro is the other where the seeds are known as coriander). Although from the same plant, the flavor profile of dill seed and dill weed are so different that chefs would never substitute one for the other! Dill weed refers to the leaf and stem of the plant while dill seed is the fruit. Dill seed is also called American dill, dilly, European dill, seed dill and madhura.

Dill seed and dill weed are used in entirely different ways but they are also occasionally used together most notably in pickling, salad dressings, sauces and vinegars.

Dill seeds are popular in condiments in Asia, in Indonesian and Malaysian meat dishes and in breads in Sweden.

The flavor profile of Dill Seed is clean, pungent with anise undertones and a slight bite. The aroma brings to mind sweet caraway.

Store your dill seed in a dark, cool, place to maximize the shelf life and use within 12 months for optimum flavor. We prefer not to use seeds that we’ve had for more than 18 months. Keep in mind that just because your dill seed is 12 months or 18 months old doesn’t mean that they need to be tossed. If your seeds still have the strong characteristic aroma and the vibrant color then they are fine.

Dill Seed is delicious when sprinkled over casseroles before baking, we also like to use them in salad dressings and with onions, potatoes, pumpkin, cabbage and vinegar.

Dill Deed works well when paired with chili powder, coriander seed, cumin, garlic, ginger, mustard seed and turmeric.

Helpful hint: If you are making a recipe from an Indian cookbook that calls for dill seed, only use half as much as the recipe calls for (unless you are using a Western version cookbook) as the dill found in India is from a different species and is usually not nearly as pungent as the dill seed found in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Europe.

We also carry an Organic Dill Weed and also a non organic Dill Seed.
