DILL
Dill is a tall, feathery annual, Anethum graveolens, in the parsley
family. Both Dill Seed and Weed (dried leaves) come from the same plant
Traditional Ethnic Uses
Dill Seed and Weed are widely used in pickling as well as in German,
Russian, and Scandinavian dishes.
Taste and Aroma
The Dill Seed flavour is clean, pungent, and reminiscent of caraway. Dill
Weed has a similar but mellower and fresher flavour.
A Few Ideas
Dill Seed and Dill Weed are not good substitutions for each other. The
seed has a camphorous, slightly bitter flavour, and the weed has a
delicate flavour.
Dill Seed is good sprinkled over casseroles before
baking and used in salad dressings. Dill Weed, with its delicate flavour,
enhances fish, shellfish, vegetables, and dips.
