What it is
Celery stock is a liquid flavoring made from celery, water, and sometimes other vegetables or seasonings. It is created by simmering celery pieces in water to extract their flavor and aroma. The resulting liquid is then strained and can be used as a base for soups, stews, and sauces.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use celery stock to add a savory, slightly vegetal flavor to a wide range of foods. It enhances the overall taste profile of dishes without overpowering other ingredients. It is commonly found in canned soups, cooking sauces, and prepared meals.
Health notes
Celery stock is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is primarily a source of flavor and does not have significant nutritional value at typical consumption levels. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated celery and its derivatives, but no specific health concerns are widely reported for its use as a food ingredient.
Allergen info
Celery is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
