Celery Seed is a versatile spice that is derived from the wild celery plant, also known as Apium graveolens. Despite the name, it is not actually the seeds of the plant but a tiny fruit. It is small in size, with a light brown color and a strong, concentrated flavor that is similar to, but more intense than, the common celery eaten as a vegetable. Celery Seed comes packed with a unique earthy flavor with a slight bitter undertone and has undertones of nutmeg and parsley. This fragrant herbaceous spice is often used in a variety of dishes, from soups and stews to salads and pickles, offering a burst of savory flavor. Not only does Celery Seed enhance taste, it is also known for its potential health benefits including reducing inflammation and aiding digestion.

Celery seed can typically be found in the spice or seasoning aisle of a grocery store. It may also be in the natural and organic section if the store has one.
