Hi Melanie, Nope! All you have to do is make sure they’re dry before storing in a jar.

Do I have to toast the dill seed before putting it in an airtight container for storage?

Hi Marissa,
That’s a personal preference (I don’t), but I wouldn’t recommend washing and drying before storage as I feel like it would be hard to eliminate all the moisture.

Do you feel like you need to wash the seeds before using them in with food?

Hi Shawn, I’d say anywhere from maybe 3 to 5 years.

In reply to Sharon.

Hi Sharon, The length of time will depend on the heat of the pan, but keep moving the seeds in the pan over the heat until you can tell they’re starting to toast. I’m not sure you’ll want to toast before putting in pickles, unless the recipe calls for it.
