Dill Seed

Dill is native to the Mediterranean as well as southern Russia, but is now cultivated around the world.  Ancient Babylonians and Assyrians have recorded cultivating this herb as far back as 3000 BC.

Dill seed is the fruit of the dill plant that forms at the tip of the flower head.  The seeds have three lines running the length of the seed that are actually oil channels.  Dill seed has a very distinct anise characteristic along with some caraway undertones.

Most commonly used in pickling mixes, sauces, vinegars, and dressings.
