celery seeds

Tiny aromatic flavorings

Celery seeds are the tiny dried fruits of the celery plant, used as a spice.

They have a concentrated, slightly bitter celery flavor and appear in pickling spice blends, coleslaw, potato salad, and Bloody Marys.

Despite the name, they come from a wild celery variety rather than the stalks sold as vegetables.
