Dill Weed, Buck's Fifth Avenue Spices - 1/2 cup, about .80 oz by weight

Grown throughout Eurasia, dill has noted popularity in Russian, German, and Scandinavian cuisines. This is due to the fact that it grows heartily in cold regions and retains much of its flavor when dried or frozen. The flavor of dill weed is similar to lemon, parsley, and anise.

Dill is a perfect spice for white fish, clams, crab, scallops, and other seafood. Just a quick sear, some salt, and a finish of lemon juice and dill makes for a mighty flavorful meal. Dill pairs perfectly with beets, cauliflower, celery, kohlrabi, fava beans, and cucumbers. If you can at home, then dill pickles are an obvious route to go.

Added to pickles, the dill can retain it’s bright green color and is great when paired with roasted potatoes or other root vegetables.
