Celery seeds come from a biennial plant called Smallage which is a wild celery with white flowers grown in mainly Europe across to Egypt . Smallage is bitter and needs cooking, however there are milder versions cultivated such as the common celery and celeriac.
To collect the seeds, the stems are cut before flowering and when dried, the seeds are removed. Celery seeds and leaves from smallage have medicinal values and as such are used for arthritis, inflammations, blood circulation and detoxification, gout, indigestion and allergies.
