What it is
A culinary herb with both leafy and seed forms, which should be chosen for different tasks.
Plain-language buying tip
Use dill weed for leafy freshness and dill seed for a warmer, more spice-like note in pickles and bread.
Forms and use
Add fresh dill near the end of cooking; use seed earlier in brines, pickles, and longer-cooked dishes.
Common forms include fresh weed, dried weed, seed. Match the form to the job: visible ingredient, even distribution, or a slow infusion you can strain.
Storage
Keep dried dill tightly sealed, cool, dark, and dry.
Quick questions
What should I check before buying Dill?
Check the stated botanical identity or style when available, the form, and the ingredient list. These details are more useful than relying on a broad category name alone.
