At Souk Marina, we specialize in exporting Sortex Quality Dill Seeds, free from other seeds, and compliant with US FDA standards and ASTA quality guidelines.
Dill is an annual herb native to Central Asia, widely cultivated in Europe and Northern Africa for both culinary and medicinal uses. While dill seeds are primarily used for their strong flavor in pickling and cooking, the dried leaves of the same plant (commonly known as dill weed) offer a milder taste and are used to enhance a variety of dishes.
Though dill seeds originate from Central Asia, they are also grown extensively in Egypt, Mediterranean countries, and Eastern Europe. The herb is gaining popularity in North America as well. A related species, known as Sowa, is cultivated in India; its fruits are larger but less aromatic than traditional dill.
