What goes with Celery Seed?
Celery seed supplies a concentrated leafy, hay-like perfume in tiny brown particles, without the water or fibrous bulk of celery stalks. It is a dry spice rather than a salty seasoning: plain seeds contain no added salt. Whole seeds punctuate a dressing with texture, whereas finely ground seed spreads its persistent bitterness more evenly through a sauce or crumb.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Celery Seed?
Juicy tomato and crisp cabbage give celery seed's dry perfume a fresh setting, while potato and mayonnaise spread it across a soft, fatty surface. Use bitterness to give rich cheese or cured fish a cleaner finish. In sweet preparations, keep the seed infusion delicate and filtered: a concentrated mouthful of whole seeds can overpower both dairy and dark sugar.
