Dill seed, the dried fruit of the dill plant ( Anethum graveolens ), is a versatile spice boasting a flavor profile that is both aromatic and slightly bitter. It has notes of caraway and anise. The seeds are flat, oval-shaped, and light brown in color. Chefs and home cooks appreciate dill seed as a distinctive seasoning to impart a warm, tangy, and slightly pungent taste to diverse dishes. When you need a robust and concentrated dill flavor, dill seed is an excellent choice. The tiny seeds are often mistaken as a herb but are actually a spice.

Dill seeds should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place, such as a pantry or spice cabinet. Proper storage helps to retain their flavor and potency for up to a year. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and moisture, as these can degrade the quality of the seeds. You can also freeze dill seeds in an airtight bag for extended storage, although this is generally not necessary.
