What it is
Ground celery seed comes from the dried seeds of the celery plant (Apium graveolens). The seeds are harvested, cleaned, and then ground into a fine powder. This process concentrates the aromatic compounds found in the seeds.
Why it's used
Ground celery seed is primarily used as a spice to add a distinct, slightly bitter, and savory flavor to foods. It is a key ingredient in celery salt and is often found in spice blends, marinades, salad dressings, and baked goods like crackers and biscuits.
Health notes
In the U.S., ground celery seed is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a spice. It is not typically associated with adverse health effects at the levels found in food. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated celery and its extracts, but specific evaluations for ground celery seed as a distinct ingredient may vary. Research into the health effects of celery seed compounds is ongoing.
Allergen info
Celery is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. However, individuals with a known allergy to celery should avoid products containing celery seed.
