Dill Weed
(Anethum graveolens)
Dill weed refers to the feathery, aromatic leaves and stems of Anethum graveolens — the same plant that gives us dill seed, but with a distinctly different flavor character. Where dill seed is warm and concentrated, dill weed is bright, fresh, and delicately sweet with a light citrusy note that makes it one of the most versatile fresh-tasting herbs in the kitchen. Native to the Mediterranean and western Asia, dill has been cultivated for thousands of years and remains a cornerstone of Scandinavian, Eastern European, Middle Eastern, and American cuisines.
In folklore, dill was believed to ward off bad mojo — charms made of dill were worn in clothing for protection against ill fortune. Whether or not it works on bad luck, it works beautifully in the kitchen!
