About Celery seed

Celery seed is the small, dried seed of celery, used as a spice. The seeds are tiny, ridged and brown, and are sold whole or ground. They have a concentrated aroma compared with fresh celery stalks or leaves.

The flavour is savoury, earthy and celery-like, with a slight bitterness. Whole seeds can be added to pickling mixtures and cooked dishes; ground seed disperses more readily in seasonings. Products labelled celery seed may differ in grind and freshness, which affect aroma and how evenly the spice is distributed.
