Export regions

Celery seed consists of tiny, greyish, ridged grains with a strong aromatic scent. This is a cargo of dried seeds, not the fleshy stalks sold as vegetables.

Apothecaries use the seeds in their preparations. Celery and its wild form, smallage, belong to the herbalist's stock of familiar plants. After flowering, the seeds are gathered, dried and sorted. A pinch rubbed between the fingers releases the fragrance that helps identify such an otherwise inconspicuous commodity.
