Celery seed is a multi-purpose spice with an intense flavor that is mildly spicy and slightly bitter. A little goes a long way with this spice. Whole seeds are added to pickling brines, soups, bread, casseroles, and curries. Celery seeds are a rich source of antioxidant flavonoids and an omega-6 fatty acid called linoleic acid.
