Celery is a marshland plant in the family Apiaceae that has been cultivated as a vegetable since antiquity. Celery has a long fibrous stalk tapering into leaves. Depending on location and cultivar, either its stalks, leaves or hypocotyl are eaten and used in cooking. celery seeds are tiny globular seeds that are sold whole, slightly crushed, or ground. The leaves, which are light green, are used whole (fresh or dried), flaked, or ground. The stalks or stems and root are sold fresh. Properties: The dried seed is dark brown with light ridges. Celery seeds should be used whole because of their small size, but also because ground seeds taste far bitterer than whole. Use celery seed in dishes that benefit from its warm, bitter, celery-like flavor, such as soup stocks, boiling liquid for shellfish, mayonnaise dressings, or meatloaf. Celery seed is a natural substance sold in dietary supplement form. Celery seed does not come from the familiar tall green plant that we eat, but rather from an ancestor of that plant, also known as wild celery or smallage. The seeds are often used in cooking, for pickling and flavoring food.
