Dill Seed

• Dill seed is excellent in brines and rubs for meats and fish, infusing them with its aromatic and slightly pungent flavor. Try it with salmon, pork, or chicken for a flavorful and savory dish.
• Spice up your soups and stews with dill seed for depth and complexity. It pairs particularly well with creamy potato soup, vegetable stews, or even fish chowders, adding a subtle, earthy note.

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.
