McCormick Celery Seed 16oz 453g
Add a punch of bright, herbaceous flavor with McCormick Celery Seed—an essential spice with a warm, earthy taste and the signature aroma of fresh celery. These tiny brown seeds come from Apium graveolens, a plant related to—but not the same as—the celery stalks you find in the produce aisle.
Celery Seed is the secret behind the zesty snap in coleslaw, the savory depth in German potato salad, and the tangy kick in pickling blends. It's a natural with tomatoes and egg dishes and adds complexity to soups, stews, salad dressings, and stuffings. Whether you're seasoning meats, mixing a brine, or crafting a homemade vinaigrette, McCormick Celery Seed delivers clean, bold flavor without added salt.
Packaged in a flavor-sealed PET container for long shelf life and easy pantry access.
Ingredients: Celery Seed.

McCormick Celery Seed 16oz 453g - FAQ
- Q: What is celery seed and where does it come from?
- A: Celery seed is the dried fruit of Apium graveolens, a relative of the celery plant. It's not from the same variety used for celery stalks but offers a similar, concentrated flavor.
- Q: What does celery seed taste like?
- A: Celery seed has a strong, earthy flavor similar to fresh celery, with grassy and slightly bitter notes. It's also lightly aromatic, with hints of anise or fennel.
- Q: How is celery seed used in cooking?
- A: It's perfect in potato salads, tomato-based dishes, vinaigrettes, meatloaf, egg salad, coleslaw, pickling blends, and brines. It can also be added to soups, stews, sauces, and stuffing to boost savory depth.
- Q: Can I substitute celery seed for celery stalks?
- A: Yes, celery seed can be used to mimic celery flavor in dishes where fresh celery isn't available. Start with ¼ teaspoon of celery seed per stalk of celery and adjust to taste.
- Q: What dishes is celery seed best in?
- A: It's excellent in:
- Potato salad
- Coleslaw
- Tomato juice and Bloody Marys
- Pickling seasoning blends
- Salad dressings (vinaigrette, ranch)
- Egg salad, meatloaf, and pasta salads
- Q: Can celery seed replace celery salt?
- A: Yes, but you'll need to add your own salt. Celery salt is typically made from ground celery seed and salt combined, so just mix 2 parts salt to 1 part ground celery seed as a basic substitute.
- Q: Is this celery seed whole or ground?
- A: This is whole celery seed, not ground. Whole seeds provide longer shelf life and can be used as-is or crushed fresh in a mortar for stronger flavor release.
- Q: Is celery seed used in pickling?
- A: Absolutely. It's a common ingredient in pickling spice blends and pairs well with vinegar and mustard seed to flavor cucumbers, beets, and relishes.
- Q: Is McCormick Celery Seed kosher?
- A: Yes, it is OU Certified Kosher and contains no added salt, preservatives, or fillers.
- Q: How should I store celery seed?
- A: Store tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from light and humidity. It has a shelf life of up to 720 days when stored properly.
- Q: Does celery seed contain sodium?
- A: No, celery seed is naturally sodium-free, making it a great choice for flavoring low-sodium dishes or salt-conscious diets.
- Q: What is the serving size for McCormick Celery Seed?
- A: A typical culinary serving is about ¼ teaspoon (0.5g). There are approximately 900 servings per 16oz container.
- Q: Why does the label show 0 calories and no serving size?
- A: Under FDA guidelines, if a serving provides less than 5 calories and less than 0.5g of any listed nutrient, it may be rounded down to 0. Since celery seed is used in small amounts (a pinch at a time), its nutritional values round to zero.
