Spice Description
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. It has a harsh, penetrating, spicy aroma and a warm
bitter taste that leaves a burning sensation. The seeds have a stronger and more
intense flavor than the leaf, stem, or root. The French type of celery seed is herbal
and sweet with a citrus bouquet, while the Indian type is more herbal with a slight
lemonlike aroma. Celeriac root, leaf, and stalk have strong celery, herbaceous, and
parsley-like tastes. Ground celery seed is sometimes called celery powder.
