                                Dill seed, known as shepa in India, has been used for centuries in culinary and traditional medicine practices. These small, oval-shaped seeds come from the dill plant, *Anethum graveolens*, and are highly prized for their distinctive warm, slightly bitter taste with hints of anise. While dill's feathery leaves (dill weed) are a familiar herb, the seeds offer a more concentrated flavor and a different set of powerful health benefits, making them a valuable addition to any kitchen or wellness routine.
