| Celery Seeds |
 |
The dried fruit of a perennial herbaceous plant, celery
seed has a pleasingly crisp texture and subtle flavour. The odour
of the green stalk and leaves is distinctly different from that of
the seed, which has a characteristic warm and slightly bitter taste.
Celery seed is widely used in foods, beverages, drugs and perfumery.
Celery requires sandy loam soil with a good content of organic matter
and plenty of moisture. |
