Product Code Database
Celery salt is a seasoned salt used to flavour food. The primary ingredient is table salt and the flavouring agent is ground seeds from celery or its relative, lovage. It is also sometimes produced using dried celery or seed oleoresin.
As a vegetable, celery seeds have potassium as the dominant ion over sodium (ninefold more).
Because sodium nitrate, a chemical that serves as a food preservative, occurs naturally in celery, celery salt is often used by Food industry to prevent spoilage while avoiding listing sodium nitrate on the ingredients list directly..
