Fox’s Spices Celery Seed 550g

Dried Celery Seeds

Fox’s Spices Celery Seed 550g is a tiny but powerful seasoning that brings a clean, savoury celery flavour to a wide range of dishes. The seeds are small and crunchy with an aromatic taste that is deeper and more concentrated than fresh celery, so only a small amount is needed. When you add celery seed to soups, stews or casseroles it gives a gentle herbal depth that tastes as though you have slow cooked celery in the pan from the start. Used in salad dressings, sauces and marinades, it adds a fresh vegetable note without extra chopping. Celery seed is also a classic ingredient in pickles, coleslaw and spice rubs, making this a useful staple for anyone who enjoys simple, honest flavour in everyday cooking.

Key Features:

• The generous 550 g pack is well suited to regular cooking and batch recipes, offering good value compared with smaller jars.
• Whole celery seeds give you full control over flavour, whether you use them as they are for texture or crush them for a smoother seasoning.
• This single spice works well on its own and also forms the base for homemade blends such as celery salt, barbecue rubs and salad seasonings.
• The consistent quality of Fox’s Spices Celery Seed helps you achieve the same savoury celery taste each time you use it in family favourites.

Recipe Inspiration:

• Stir a teaspoon of celery seed into creamy potato salad or coleslaw dressing to add a classic deli style flavour.
• Add celery seed to homemade pickle brine for cucumbers, onions or mixed vegetables to give a traditional tang and herbal note.
• Sprinkle a pinch into tomato soup, vegetable stew or slow cooked casseroles to bring out a deeper savoury background.
• Crush celery seed with salt in a pestle and mortar to make your own celery salt, then use it to season chips, popcorn or grilled sweetcorn.

What does celery seed do in a recipe?

Celery seed adds a concentrated savoury celery flavour along with a gentle herbal aroma. It can lift the taste of soups, stews, dressings and sauces when you want the flavour of celery without using fresh stalks.

Can you use celery seed instead of fresh celery?

You can often use celery seed as a flavour substitute when you do not have fresh celery. It will not replace the texture, but a small pinch added early in cooking can bring a similar savoury note to soups, sauces and braises.

Is celery seed the same as celery salt?

Celery seed is the pure spice made from dried seeds, while celery salt is usually a blend of ground celery seed and table salt. Using celery seed on its own lets you decide how much salt to add separately, which can be helpful when you want more control over seasoning.
