Part Used: Dried seeds of Apium graveolens, finely milled
Description: Celery Seed Powder is produced from the dried seeds of Apium graveolens, a biennial plant native to the Mediterranean region and widely cultivated in temperate areas. The plant typically grows 50–100 cm tall, forming hollow stems with finely divided, feathery leaves and small white flower clusters that develop into seeds. The seeds are collected when fully mature, dried, and finely milled into a consistent powder with natural light brown to golden tones.
The seeds of Apium graveolens contain naturally aromatic oils that give the powder a warm, slightly bitter, and earthy aroma. The finely ground form ensures even distribution in culinary and creative applications while maintaining the natural characteristics of the original seeds.
Mature seeds are harvested, cleaned to remove stems and debris, and dried under controlled warm air or shade drying conditions to reduce moisture. After drying, the seeds are finely milled and sifted to produce a uniform, smooth powder with consistent particle size. No additives, fillers, or processing agents are used, preserving the natural qualities of the seeds.
Uses: Celery Seed Powder is used in spice blends, seasoning mixes, dry rubs, soups, sauces, and beverage formulations where a concentrated celery flavour is desired. It is also suitable for natural colouring in culinary preparations, botanical craft mixtures, decorative herb displays, and educational herb kits that require a fine-textured plant-based powder.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
