Dill Seed – A Distinctively Aromatic Spice and Herbal Remedy

Ingredients Herbs and Spices

Description

Dill seed (Anethum graveolens) is one of the oldest used aromatic spice and medicinal seeds, obtained from the fruit of the dill plant after flowering. The seeds are oval, flattened, with light and dark brown stripes, and possess an extremely intense, slightly anise-like, earthy aroma.

They are mainly used to flavor pickles, cucumbers, cabbage, fish dishes, and potato meals, but tea and medicinal decoctions are also made from them. Available whole and ground. When added to food, they not only enhance flavors but also possess digestion-promoting and antispasmodic effects.
