Dill Seeds

Dill seeds are the dried fruits of the dill plant (Anethum graveolens), an aromatic herb from the Apiaceae family, which also includes parsley, cumin, and coriander. Though the plant is mostly known for its feathery leaves (used as a fresh herb), the seeds are also widely valued for their distinct flavor and medicinal properties.
