What is dill weed? About the ingredient dill weed. Including 883 recipes with dill weed, nutrition data, and where to find it.
Fresh and dried dill leaves (sometimes called "dill weed" to distinguish it from dill seed) are used as herbs, mainly in the Baltic and central Asia.
Its fernlike leaves are aromatic, and are used to flavor many foods, such as gravlax (cured salmon), borscht and other soups, and pickles (where the dill flower is sometimes used).
Dill is best when used fresh, as it loses its flavor rapidly if dried; however, freeze-dried dill leaves preserve their flavor relatively well for a few months.
Dill seed is used as a spice, with a flavor somewhat similar to caraway, but also resembling that of fresh or dried dill weed. Dill seeds were traditionally used to soothe the stomach after meals.
Dill weed is usually found in the spices section or aisle of the grocery store or supermarket.
Dill weed is a member of the Spices and Herbs USDA nutritional food group.
