Organic Dill Seed

Organic dill seed comes from the dried seeds of the dill plant (Anethum graveolens), a herb widely cultivated for its aromatic leaves and seeds. The seeds are harvested after the plant flowers and are typically used whole or ground. They have a stronger, more pungent flavor than dill weed.

Dill seed is used as a spice to add a warm, slightly anise-like flavor to foods. Manufacturers include it in seasoning mixes, rubs, marinades, pickles, and baked goods. It is often found in savory products like sausages, cheese, and sauces.

Dill seed is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food flavoring. It is not typically associated with adverse health effects when consumed in amounts found in food. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated dill and its extracts. Evidence does not suggest significant health concerns at typical dietary intake levels.
