dill seed

Herb for pickles

Dill seed is the dried fruit of the dill plant, used as a spice.

Despite the name, these are technically fruits rather than seeds.

They have a warm, slightly bitter flavor distinct from dill's feathery leaves (dill weed).

Dill seed appears in pickling brines, breads, and European cuisines: Add dill seed to the cucumber brine.
