Celery seed powder is a warming and slightly bitter spice that adds depth and complexity to a variety of culinary dishes. Milled from the organic seeds of Apium graveolens, this finely ground powder is ideal for sprinkling into marinades, pickles, beverage blends, spice mixes, and more. It can also be extracted or infused for use in herbal preparations.
Historically, the Greeks and Romans referred to celery as “smallage” and harvested it in the wild for its medicinal properties. While the Romans incorporated it into cooking, it wasn’t until the Middle Ages that celery became a staple vegetable in the kitchen. By the 19th century, celery seeds were being used as a spice for recipes and pickling. Celery has long been associated with funerals and considered bad luck, often found in Egyptian tombs as woven garlands. The celery we use in herbalism today is closely related to the one commonly found in markets, with its grayish-green to brown seeds delivering a distinctively slightly bitter and spicy flavor.
Celery seed powder is a versatile seasoning, perfect for enhancing the flavor of dishes like pickles, casseroles, and Bloody Marys. While it can easily overpower a dish in large quantities, a small amount will elevate and balance the flavors of other ingredients. Add it to your spice cabinet to enhance both savory recipes and beverage mixes.
In folk herbalism, celery seeds are often used for their warming properties. While not typically consumed in large amounts, they can be infused or extracted for use in herbal teas and remedies.
If using in therapeutic doses, celery seed should be used with caution during pregnancy—only under the supervision of a qualified healthcare practitioner. Those with kidney inflammation or a history of kidney irritation should avoid using celery seed in larger amounts. Always consult with a qualified healthcare provider before using herbal products, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, or on any medications.
