%%%%% DILL SEED %%%%%

A pickle wouldn't be a pickle without dill - the seeds are the major
ingredient in pickling spice. Its pungent, aromatic flavor livens up
fish and chicken dishes, salads, sauerkraut, green beans, stews, egg
dishes, salad dressing, creamy sauces and dairy products, such as
sour cream, cottage cheese and yogurt. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%%%% FENNEL SEED %%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Like aniseed,
fennel has a licorice flavor, but it's less intense. The small,
oval, greenish brown seeds of sweet fennel give Italian sausage and
pepperoni their characteristic flavor. Fennel is also used in fish
dishes, in curry powder and in pickling mixtures for sweet pickles
and salad dressing. Try it in eggs, vegetables or as Italian bakers
do, in breads and rolls. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%
FENUGREEK SEED %%%%% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% This seed actually
comes from a plant in the pea family. It's primarily used in curry
powder, but you'll also find it in chutneys, pickling mixtures and
confections. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%% MUSTARD SEED %%%%%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% The seeds for making mustard come in
several shades; white, yellow and brown. The make the mustard that

sauerkraut. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%% POPPY SEED %%%%%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Tiny, blue-black, nutty tasting poppy seeds

cookies, cakes and other baked goods. Browned in butter, they're
delicious over noodles, fish and cooked vegetables. Try themin fruit
