1 teaspoon of dried dill = 1 sprig of dill
How big a sprig? You must be specific. But 1/2 tsp dry ground thyme = 1 tsp fresh thyme if that is any help. That's the leaves not including the stem.
1 4" sprig yields approximately 1 Tablespoon of fresh oregano. 1 Tablespoon of fresh oregano is equivalent to 1 teaspoon of dried. Therefore, 1 sprig is approximately equal to 1 teaspoon dried, so 2 sprigs = approximately 2 teaspoons of dried oregano. :)
1 gram is equal to approximately 0.035 ounce when measuring dry weight.
When using dill, you will find that both the feathery leaves and the flower heads can be used. Most often the flower heads are allowed to mature and harvested as dill seed. I usually get about a tablespoon of dried dill seed per plant (plants often have more than one seed head). I also dry the leaves, and because they are so fine I don't get much dried dill (1 -3 tablespoons per plant) from each plant.
When using dry herbs versus fresh herbs, a good rule of thumb is to use 1 portion of dry herbs for every 3 portions of fresh herbs. So, one tsp of dried tarragon would be the equivalent to 3 tsps. of fresh tarragon.
To effectively preserve dill by dehydrating it, you can wash and dry the dill thoroughly, then remove the leaves from the stems. Spread the leaves in a single layer on a dehydrator tray and dry them at a low temperature until they are crisp. Store the dried dill in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to maintain its flavor and potency.
Yes, you can freeze dill. Wash and dry the dill thoroughly, chop it into desired sizes, and then place it in an airtight container or freezer bag. Frozen dill may lose some of its texture but will still retain its flavor for use in cooking.

To effectively chop dill for cooking or garnishing dishes, first wash and dry the dill. Then, gather the dill into a tight bundle and use a sharp knife to finely chop it. Be sure to use a rocking motion with the knife to ensure even cuts. Avoid over-chopping to prevent the dill from becoming mushy.
