Dill Seeds

Description

Dill seeds come from the dried, tear-shaped fruit pods of dill plants after the feathery leaves are harvested. Similar to caraway, dill seeds feature an anise/mint flavor but also with grassy, citrusy herb quality. They are used whole or crushed to enhance bread, cheeses, soups, stews, vegetables, and pickling brines. Toasting mellows bitterness and enhances nutty notes. Dill seeds fit cuisines from Eastern Europe to Scandinavia helping cucumbers, beets, and meats shine.
