General: Dill is a tall, feathery annual, Anethum graveolens, in the parsley family. Both Dill Seed and Weed (dried leaves) come from the same plant.

Region Produced: United States and India
Traditional Uses: Dill Seed and Weed are widely used in pickling as well as in German, Russian, and Scandinavian dishes.
Aroma/Taste: The Dill Seed flavor is clean, pungent, and reminiscent of caraway. Dill Weed has a similar but mellower and fresher flavor.
History: Cream of Tartar has been known since ancient times.
Storage: Store in cool, dark, dry places.
Ideas*: Dill Seed and Dill Weed are not good substitutions for each other. The seed has a camphorous, slightly bitter flavor, and the weed has a delicate flavor. Dill Seed is good sprinkled over casseroles before baking and used in salad dressings.

It was a GREAT recipe, however the next time I make it I am going to put a little less key lime juice in it--it's supposed to be tart, but I thought it was just a little too tart!
