- AROMATIC FLAVOR PROFILE: Dill Seeds have a warm, fresh, slightly bitter, citrusy, and gently caraway-like flavor. Their aroma becomes stronger when lightly crushed, toasted, or simmered in cooked dishes.
Bring a warm, aromatic flavor to your everyday cooking with AWAFI MILL Dill Seeds, traditionally known as Suva or Sowa Seeds.
Botanically identified as Anethum graveolens L., dill belongs to the Apiaceae family, which also includes celery, parsley, fennel, coriander, cumin, and carrot. The plant produces feathery green leaves known as dill weed and aromatic dried fruits commonly sold as dill seeds.
Botanical Identity
Dill Seeds come from Anethum graveolens L., an accepted botanical species in the Apiaceae family.
In culinary and commercial use, the term Dill Seeds is standard. Botanically, however, each seed-like unit is the plant’s dried ripe fruit.
Common and Traditional Names
This product may be known as:
• Dill Seeds
• Dill Seed
• Suva Seeds
• Sowa Seeds
• Soa Seeds
• Suwa Seeds
• Shepu Seeds
• Anethum Seeds
• Anethum graveolens
Regional names and spellings may vary, but the scientific identity should remain Anethum graveolens L.
Appearance and Texture
Dill Seeds are naturally small, flat, oval, and light to medium brown, with fine ridges across the surface.
Natural differences in shade, size, and shape may occur depending on the harvest, growing region, maturity, and drying process.
Aroma and Flavor Profile
Dill Seeds have a concentrated aromatic character that differs from fresh dill leaves.
Their flavor can be described as:
• Warm
• Fresh
• Slightly bitter
• Gently citrusy
• Mildly earthy
• Similar to caraway, with a distinct dill aroma
Lightly crushing or heating the seeds helps release their natural aroma.
Common Culinary Uses
AWAFI MILL Dill Seeds can be used in:
• Pickled cucumbers and mixed vegetables
• Vinegar brines and pickling blends
• Lentils, dals, and pulses
• Curries and vegetable dishes
• Soups and stews
• Potato and cabbage recipes
• Rice and grain dishes
• Fish and seafood seasoning
• Meat marinades and dry rubs
• Bread, crackers, and savory biscuits
• Chutneys and sauces
• Homemade spice and seasoning blends
How to Use Whole Dill Seeds
Add whole Dill Seeds directly to pickling liquid, soup, stew, lentils, rice, or slow-cooked dishes.
Whole seeds release their flavor gradually and are especially suitable for recipes with longer cooking times.
How to Use Crushed or Ground Dill Seeds
Lightly crush the seeds using a mortar and pestle when a stronger aroma is desired.
Ground or crushed Dill Seeds can be mixed into:
• Marinades
• Dry rubs
• Bread dough
• Cracker dough
• Salad dressings
• Sauces
• Spice blends
For the best aroma, grind only the amount needed for each recipe.
How to Toast
Place the seeds in a dry pan over low heat for a short time, stirring continuously.
Remove them as soon as the aroma becomes more noticeable. Avoid overheating, as excessive roasting may create bitterness.
Pickling Use
Add Dill Seeds to vinegar or salt brines along with mustard seeds, coriander seeds, peppercorns, garlic, bay leaf, chili, or other preferred pickling spices.
The seeds contribute a warm, classic dill aroma that develops during the pickling process.
Suggested Starting Quantity
Because Dill Seeds have a concentrated flavor, begin with a small amount.
A starting quantity of approximately ¼–½ teaspoon may be suitable for a medium recipe, but the amount should always be adjusted according to the dish, serving size, and personal taste.
Important Product Difference
Dill Seeds are different from:
• Dill Weed – the dried or fresh leafy part of the same plant
• Fennel Seeds – Foeniculum vulgare
• Caraway Seeds – Carum carvi
• Celery Seeds – Apium graveolens
• Ajwain Seeds – Trachyspermum ammi
These spices may look or smell somewhat similar, but each has its own botanical identity and flavor.

This product is supplied as a culinary whole spice.
It is not marketed as:
• A medicine
• A treatment
• A dietary supplement
• An infant remedy
• A digestive cure
• A therapeutic tea
• A replacement for professional healthcare
