Celery Seeds

Botanical Name: Apium Graveolens

Other Names: marsh water parsley, wild celery, smallage, garden celery

Celery is actually a member of the parsley family. Use them in soups and stews to add a subtle hint of celery flavor. Celery seed serves as a spice in salads, sauces, dressings, brines, and dry rubs, and it comes in both whole seed and ground forms. In its entirety, the seed is small, approximately the size of a poppy seed, and exhibits a dark brown color. When ground, it transforms into a fine, dark greenish-brown powder.
