Information
Celery seeds are among the smallest, yet perhaps most potent and underrated flavor enhancers in the spice rack. The ground version provides a concentrated, warm, and slightly bitter celery flavor that immediately elevates dressings and salads to new culinary heights. This is the spice that gives the completely authentic flavor to American coleslaw and classic potato salad. Furthermore, it is an incredibly important flavor enhancer in tomato soups, a good Bloody Mary, and of course in homemade sausages, where the spice adds a beautiful depth completely without adding chunks to the meat.

This spice goes a long way and gives you full control over the flavor profile. When you add ground celery seed to your recipes, you utilize the natural umami properties of the spice to bridge the gap between the different flavors in the dish. Whether you are perfecting a dry rub for the barbecue or refining the taste of your own signature sausage, this is an ingredient you will quickly become addicted to in the kitchen.
Mix one part ground celery seed with two parts fine sea salt. This becomes infinitely fresher and more flavorful than store bought celery salt. The result is absolutely delicious on a soft boiled egg, over hot french fries, or in a fresh Bloody Mary!
Uses
- Salads: The very core and secret behind a really good coleslaw, potato salad, and cucumber salad.
- Sausages: Adds a warm and spicy undertone to all sausage meat, and is especially fantastic in hot dogs and frankfurters.
- Soups and stews: Provides exactly the same great taste as fresh celery stalks, but is much easier to dose and has an incredibly long shelf life.
- Rub and BBQ: A crucial ingredient in many dry spice blends for pork and chicken.

FAQ Frequently Asked Questions
Is this exactly the same as celery salt?
No. Celery salt is usually a mixture of salt and celery seeds. This is a completely pure powder of celery seeds, so you get enormously more flavor and can control the salt amount entirely on your own.
Does it make the food taste bitter?
Celery seeds can impart a slight bitterness if you use too much of it. In the right and well balanced amounts, however, this bitterness provides a fantastic contrast against fatty and sweet flavors, for example together with mayonnaise in a coleslaw.
Can I use this instead of fresh celery stalks?
Regarding the flavor itself, it works perfectly. You naturally do not get the nice and crunchy texture, but in soups and hot sauces, this is an absolutely superb replacement if you lack fresh celery in the fridge.
