celery seed

Dressing flavor additive

Celery seed is the tiny dried fruit of the celery plant, used as a spice.

It has a concentrated, slightly bitter celery flavor and appears in pickling brines, coleslaw, potato salad, and Bloody Marys.

Despite the name, these are technically fruits rather than true seeds.
