Dill Seed (Whole) is a premium-grade spice product derived from the mature fruits of the dill plant (Anethum graveolens), specially processed to retain its complete, intact seed form. Known for its intense aromatic profile and rich oil content, whole dill seeds are a favored choice in high-end culinary applications, oil distillation, and herbal preparations where both aesthetics and potency matter.

Whole dill seeds are characterized by their distinct oval, slightly flattened structure with sharp ridges and a smooth brown outer coat. They are prized for their concentrated essential oil—primarily carvone—which delivers a warm, slightly bitter, and citrusy flavor. Because of their full-bodied shape, whole dill seeds are ideal for slow-cooking dishes such as curries, pickles, stews, and breads, where the flavor is slowly released into the food over time.

This grade is especially popular in the gourmet spice trade, premium packaged goods, and artisanal pickling industries. Whole dill seed is also used as a flavoring ingredient in flavored oils, brines, and fermentation products due to its long-lasting aroma. In herbal medicine, it is often brewed into tea or infused in oil to aid digestion, relieve colic, and soothe the gut.
