Signs dried dill has gone bad
- Loss of aroma and colour — old spices aren't unsafe, just weak.
- Clumping or moisture inside the jar.
- Any sign of pantry pests.
When in doubt, throw it out — the cost of a spoiled meal isn't worth the risk.
Best way to store dried dill
Keep dried spices and herbs in airtight jars in a cool, dark cupboard away from the heat of the stove. They stay safe for a long time but lose potency, so replace them when the aroma fades.
