Celery Seed Background and Benefits

Celery (Apium graveolens) is a member of the Apiaceae family, which also includes carrots and parsley. Celery plants can exceed three feet in height, and the leaves can grow to more than two inches in length. The white flowers are about 1/10-inch in diameter and grow in dense clusters called umbrels. Celery “seeds” are about 1/16-inch in diameter, although they are the fruits of the plant.

Celery is used as a vegetable throughout the world. The Pascal variety of celery is most common in North America and is characterized by stalks that grow in tight, straight bunches. The most commonly used part of Pascal celery is the vertical leaf stalk or petiole. The leaves have a sharp aromatic flavor and are typically used to flavor soups. The celeriac variety of celery is more common in Europe and is primarily cultivated for its large bulbs.

Celery may also be grown for its seed, especially in temperate climates. Celery seeds have a strong flavor, which comes from a volatile oil called apiol. Celery seeds are primarily used as a spice, although they are also common in many pharmaceutical and cosmetic products.
