Meet the plant
Dill's botanical name is Anethum graveolens. Its fine leaves and the spice commonly called dill seed are different culinary forms and should be named separately in a recipe.
At the kitchen table
Chopped leaves work as a finishing herb in a cool salad. The seed has a different texture and flavor; substituting it by equal volume changes the dish.
A thread to follow
When a family recipe simply says dill, a useful first question is which part was used and whether it was fresh or dried. That small detail can explain a surprisingly large difference between two versions.
