Celery Seed
Celery Seed
Celery Seed, Apium graveolens, also known as celery seeds or bulk celery seeds come from wild celery, a relative of the kind of celery available in grocery stores.
Tiny celery seeds are actually the fruit of the celery plant. They are so small, it takes roughly 45,000 seeds to make up one ounce of product.
Celery seed is popular with:
- American, seafood, and BBQ restaurants;
- brewpubs;
- seasoning companies;
- independent spice shops;
- butchers;
- breweries;
- caterers;
- sauce and condiment manufacturers; and
- fermenters and picklers
One teaspoon of Celery Seed equals 2 tablespoons minced celery tops.
We also offer Ground Celery Seed, Organic Celery Seeds and Organic Ground Celery Seeds.
Flavor Profile
Celery Seed has a hay-like, grassy, pungent, slightly bitter taste and aroma.
How to Use
Celery Seed is pungent and can overpower a dish. Toast celery seed in a dry pan to wake up the volatile oils and add it to potato salad, pimento cheese, succotash or added to Pickled Red Onions. Grind and add to a DIY Dry Rib Rub. Mix with pepper and lemon peel to season strong-tasting fish, like salmon. Add zing to comfort favorites like Split Pea Soup. This is a must-have for homemade sausages, bread & butter pickles, Homemade Pickles, or Spicy Cabbage Slaw.
Use the distinctive, pungent flavor of celery seeds in your bread, brines, casseroles, chicken soup, coleslaw, eggs, meat, pickles, vegetable dishes, gravies, salad dressings, sauces, sauerkraut, stuffing, stews and fresh tomato juice.
Celery Seed goes well with onion, nutmeg, parsley, bell peppers, carrots, turmeric, chicken, sage, cumin, soy sauce, ginger, and vinegar.
