CELERY SEEDS

Celery seed is the dried fruit of the Apium graveolens which is related, but not identical, to the vegetable celery plant. The tiny brown seeds have a celery-like flavor and aroma.

Would-be medieval magicians used to put celery seeds in their shoes, hoping this would help them fly. It didn't.

It is difficult to say when the seeds were first used as a spice. It was not until the early 19th Century that Celery Seeds began appearing in American cookbooks, usually in pickling recipes.
