What it is
Celery flakes are dried pieces of celery leaves and stalks. They are made by harvesting fresh celery, cleaning it, and then drying it, often through air drying or freeze-drying, to preserve its flavor and aroma.

Health notes
Celery flakes are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are a natural source of vitamins and minerals. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated celery and its extracts, but no specific ADI is set for celery flakes. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical dietary intake levels.
