Capture the intense, concentrated essence of celery. Our Whole Celery Seeds offer a powerful, earthy, and slightly bitter flavour that is the secret to robust pickling, savoury baking, and adding a deep herbaceous note to dressings, brines, and spice rubs. Unlock the robust flavour of this versatile seed:
Pickling & Preserving: The classic use. Add to brines for dill pickles, relishes, chutneys, and pickled vegetables.
Salads & Dressings: Crush slightly and add to coleslaw, potato salad, and vinaigrettes for a authentic, savoury depth. Baking: A key flavour in rye bread and other savoury baked goods, pairing perfectly with caraway seeds.
Soups & Stews: Add a pinch to chicken soup, clam chowder, bean stews, and bloodymary mix to build a savoury foundation.
Spice Rubs & Seasonings: Combine with garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper to create a versatile seasoning salt for meats and vegetables.
How to Use: For maximum flavour, lightly toast the seeds in a dry pan for 1-2 minutes until fragrant before using. They can be used whole, lightly crushed with a mortar and pestle, or ground.
Storage: Keep in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place to protect their potent aroma and flavour.
Whisk dressing: Mayo + vinegar + sugar + celery seed
Toss with cabbage + carrots
Chill 2+ hours (softens cabbage + melds flavors)
Pro Tip:
For extra crunch, toast seeds 30 sec in dry pan
