Ground Celery Seed
Ground Celery Seed, Apium graveolens, is also called celery seed powder, celery seed ground, ground celery powder, or ground celery. It has an essential oil content of 2-3% by weight.
Ground celery is derived from the whole, dried fruit of the wild celery plant. It is indigenous to eastern and southern Europe and the Mediterranean. Celery was called "smallage" by the Greeks and Romans, and it was originally wild harvested for its medicinal properties. Celery Seeds didn’t appear in recipes until the 1800s, when it was included in pickling recipes.
Ground Celery Seed is popular with:
- seasoning companies;
- sauce, gourmet nut, and breading manufacturers;
- American, barbecue, and burger restaurants; and
- independent spice shops
We also have whole Celery Seed, Organic Ground Celery Seeds, and Organic Celery Seeds available.
