Celery Seed is native to Europe and America. It has a strong taste and is quite sharp and fresh with a slightly bitter after taste. It marries very well with tomatoes and is great with fish and eggs.

How to use it

The secret ingredient in Bloody Marys, coleslaw, and potato salad. Mix into celery salt with a 2:1 ratio of salt to ground seed. Stir into tuna or egg salad for instant depth. Add to pickling brines and soups in the last 15 minutes — the flavor fades with long cooking.

What it goes with

Brunch tea. Brew our English Breakfast alongside anything you'd season with celery seed — the malty tannins cut right through the richness. For something lighter, try our Sencha with a celery-seed vinaigrette salad.

Maple Peach

The maple peach is delicious. What a beautiful combination. I will most definitely order it again, and a higher quantity of it.

Always handy

I use dillweed often. This dill is fresh and has a nice aroma. I use it in marinades, salad dressings, and on fish. Good stuff.
