The smallest of all seasoning seeds, celery seeds are a relative newcomer to the spice world, but don't underestimate them. While it takes 46,000 celery seeds to yield an ounce, it takes only two of the small, brown, aromatic seeds to conjure the flavor of a mouthful of celery stalk! Similar to fennel and anise, celery seed has a grassy, hay-like, slightly bitter aroma and taste.
Try this distinct, pungent taste ground in gravies and sauces, soups, stews, tomato juice, stuffings, and vegetable, egg, and meat dishes. The whole seed adds interesting texture as well as taste to breads, pickles, sauerkraut, and side salads (like coleslaw and carrot salads). Ethnic recipes from Germany, Italy, Russia and Asia often call for celery seed. By the way, in many dishes that call for fresh celery, celery seed whole or ground can be conveniently substituted.
Fresh,resh, fresh!

Comments about Organic Celery Seed:
I used it in place of fresh celery in soups and stews and was delicious. This is much fresher than what you would buy in the local stores.
