Celery Seed Ground

Harvested from a plant called ‘smallage’ or ‘wild celery’ and bearing little resemblance to the celery we find in the supermarket, these seeds are packed with flavor. Ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans grew it in their gardens as a panacea and it was considered an aphrodisiac. It has an earthy, grassy taste with hints of citrus and a bitterness which can be reduced with heating.

How to use it: Celery seed pairs well with fish and eggs. It is wonderful in salad dressings or mayonnaise, especially for coleslaw. It is added to ketchup, pickles and many spice blends.
