Dill Seed – Whole

(Anethum graveolens)

Dill is one of the oldest and most beloved culinary herbs in the world, with a history stretching back over 5,000 years to ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome. Anethum graveolens — from the Greek anethon, meaning “fast-growing” — is a feathery annual herb native to the Mediterranean and western Asia, now cultivated worldwide for both its aromatic leaves (dill weed) and its seeds. The seeds are actually the dried fruits of the plant, and carry a warm, slightly tangy, distinctly “dill” flavor that is more concentrated and robust than the leaf.

In folklore, dill was believed to ward off bad dreams and bring good fortune in matters of the heart and the courtroom alike — a versatile herb in more ways than one! Today it remains a kitchen staple across Scandinavian, Eastern European, Middle Eastern, and American cuisines.
