Latest reviewed evidence
The figures below are laboratory and test-portion amounts in India's official spice-and-herb analysis manual for dill seed. They describe a sampling method, not lot composition, a universal grade, production, an offer or a live physical price. Physical value is withheld without a current named product, lot analysis, origin, quantity, rights-cleared market observations, logistics and delivery terms.

Dillweed, dill seed and planting seed are separate products
U.S. EPA identifies Anethum graveolens as both dillweed in the herb subgroup and dill seed in the spice subgroup. Fresh leaves and stems, dried or rubbed dillweed, whole or ground culinary seed, seed sold for planting and dill-seed oil have different intended uses, condition, processing, tests, packs and regulatory paths. Atlas never transfers a leaf, spice-seed, planting-seed or essential-oil claim into another product.
Sampling instructions are not a grade certificate
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India analysis manual lists a 500 gram laboratory sample, a 100 gram appropriate test portion and a 10 gram minimum test portion for dill seed. Those amounts support laboratory method planning; they do not establish moisture, purity, volatile-oil content or compliance for a shipment. The lot record needs sampler, sampling plan, laboratory, method, date and actual result.
Planting-seed evidence does not certify culinary dill
India's National Horticulture Board handbook lists dill planting-seed standards such as purity, germination and moisture. Those thresholds belong to seed certification and propagation use, not automatically to culinary dill seed or dried dillweed. Intended use, treatment status, germination claim, phytosanitary evidence and food requirements must stay attached to the correct lot.
Product form and freshness belong in the trade identity
Fresh dill needs harvest timing, temperature, pack and transit-life evidence; dried dillweed needs plant-part, cut, colour, aroma, moisture, foreign-matter and microbial terms; culinary seed needs whole or ground form, crop year, purity, moisture, volatile-oil and contaminant evidence where contracted. A physical comparison also needs origin, quantity, currency, Incoterm, destination, delivery window and evidence vintage. Atlas does not turn a sampling table or residue crop group into a live price.
