Celery is a plant belonging to the apiaceous family. Its height can reach an average of 60 centimeters to one meter. It is cultivated almost everywhere, except in the coldest climatic zones of the planet. Celery has an umbrella-type inflorescence, where small brown seeds grow.

Celery seeds have a round shape and they can reach 1-1.5 mm in diameter. Similar to anise and fennel, they have a rich taste and a slightly bitter aroma.

In Europe, celery seeds have been well known since the times of ancient Greece and Rome. Even during those times, the seeds were used in cooking and were an indispensable ingredient in many recipes. Indian Ayurvedic physicians often used celery seeds for the treatment of liver diseases, colds, aches, and for the removal of excess fluids from the body.

Celery seeds can be eaten either dried or fresh. Not only do they serve as good seasonings in food preparation, but they can also be brewed in tea, all of which have a very favorable effect on the human body.
