Is there a difference between dill & dill weed?!


Question: Is there a difference between dill & dill weed!?
I have a recipe that calls for dill weed, and I've never heard of that before!. I have heard of and used dill in the past, and I'm wondering if this is a related but different herb, or if it is just another name for the same thing!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

This should fully answer your excellent question ;)

"Dill seed is the fruit of the dill plant, while dill weed refers to the leaf and stem!. Dill seed is also known as seed dill and dill weed is sometimes referred to as leaf dill!. Dill is in the family Apiaceae, which includes caraway, carrot, anise, celery, chervil, parsnip, parsley, fennel, and coriander!. The Apiaceae family has over 3,000 members, including the poisonous hemlock!. Although part of the same plant, dill seed and dill weed are so different that expert cooks caution never to substitute one for the other!

Dill weed is herb-like and dill seed is spice-like; the seeds have a stronger flavor than the weed!. A fast easy way to use dill in your menus is to add fresh chopped dill to softened butter and use it as a spread on crusty bread or melt the dill butter as a dip for grilled seafood!. Leftover tuna or egg salad makes a great appetizer or snack when put onto crackers and topped with a sprinkle of dill seeds!. Fresh dill weed stores well in plastic bags in the freezer, while dill seed should be kept in a covered container in a cool dry place!. Dried dill weed is less flavorful than fresh dill, but holds up better in dishes needing long cooking times!."
