Why Keep Celery Seeds in the Pantry?

Concentrated celery flavour without fresh celery
A small amount can bring distinctive savoury celery character to an entire dish.

Ideal for pickling and preserving
Celery Seed is a classic addition to brines, relishes, chutneys and pickled vegetables.

Use whole or crushed
Keep the seeds whole for texture or crush them when you want stronger flavour.

Excellent in creamy salads
Potato salad and coleslaw are two particularly easy places to use them.

Useful for homemade seasonings
Combine them with salt, garlic, onion and pepper to make your own savoury seasoning blends.

What Do Celery Seeds Taste Like?

Celery Seeds have an intense, savoury, earthy and slightly bitter flavour.

They taste recognisably of celery, but the flavour is much more concentrated than eating a fresh celery stalk.

That's why you generally need only a small amount.

The slightly bitter, herbal character works particularly well alongside:

Mustard
Vinegar
Mayonnaise
Potatoes
Cabbage
Tomato
Chicken

How to Use Celery Seeds

Pickles & Preserves

Add whole seeds to your pickling brine for:

• Cucumbers
• Onions
• Carrots
• Beans
• Mixed vegetables

They contribute savoury herbal flavour as the vegetables sit in the brine.

Potato Salad

Lightly crush the seeds before stirring them into mayonnaise, mustard and seasoning.

The celery flavour pairs naturally with potatoes.

Coleslaw

Add a small amount to creamy or vinegar-based coleslaw dressing.

Soups & Stews

Use in chicken soup, bean soups, chowders and vegetable stews to build another savoury layer.

Bread & Savoury Baking

Celery Seeds can be used in savoury breads and baked goods, either alone or alongside seeds such as caraway.

Spice Rubs

Combine with garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper and other spices for meat or vegetable seasoning.

Whole or Crushed?

How you prepare Celery Seeds affects how strongly they flavour the dish.

Use them whole when you want:

• Texture
• Slower flavour release
• Pickling
• Bread and baked goods

Lightly crush them when you want:

• Stronger aroma
• Faster flavour release
• Dressings
• Potato salad
• Coleslaw
• Rubs

Crushing the seed exposes more surface area and releases more of its natural aromatic oils.

Celery Seeds vs Celery Salt

These two products sound similar, but they do different jobs.

Choose Celery Seeds when you want:

• Pure celery-seed flavour
• Control over how much salt goes into the dish
• Whole seed texture
• Pickling and preserving
• An ingredient for homemade seasoning blends

Choose Celery Salt when you want:

• Celery flavour and salt together
• An easy finishing seasoning
• Something to shake over chips, eggs or burgers
• Fast everyday seasoning

Celery Seeds give you more control and a much more concentrated celery flavour.

Make Your Own Celery Seasoning

One advantage of starting with whole Celery Seeds is that you can create your own seasoning.

Lightly crush the seeds and combine them with:

Sea salt
Black pepper
Garlic powder
Onion powder

Adjust the proportions until you find the flavour you like.

Use it on chicken, roasted vegetables, potatoes or barbecue meats.

You control both the celery flavour and the salt level.

Try It This Way

Next time you make coleslaw, lightly crush a small amount of Celery Seeds and stir them into your usual dressing.

Combine:

Mayonnaise
A little vinegar or lemon juice
Mustard
Celery Seeds
Salt and pepper

Toss through shredded cabbage and carrot.

It's a small addition, but it gives a simple coleslaw noticeably more savoury depth.

Beyond Pickling

Once you've opened the pack, try Celery Seeds in:

• Dill pickles
• Pickled onions
• Chutneys
• Relishes
• Potato salad
• Coleslaw
• Vinaigrettes
• Chicken soup
• Bean soup
• Chowder
• Tomato-based dishes
• Rye bread
• Savoury breads
• Meat rubs
• Vegetable seasonings
• Homemade celery salt
• Barbecue rubs

Celery Seeds are one of those ingredients that can look specialised at first — but once you understand their flavour, they become an easy way to add savoury depth to everyday food.

Start Small

Celery Seeds have a concentrated flavour.

Begin with a modest amount, taste where possible, and add more if needed.

Storage

Store Celery Seeds in an airtight container in a cool, dark and dry place to help protect their natural oils and aroma.

Storage Hack:

• Keep seeds whole in freezer (grind as needed)
