(Apium graveolens)  Grassy and hay-like, even a little bitter, the flavor of celery stalk and leaf is reminiscent of fennel and anise, but much milder.Dried celery flakes add celery's distinct flavor to stuffing, coleslaw, sauerkraut, curries, dressings, vegetable and egg dishes, tomato juice, sauces, salads, relishes, soups and breads. Try them in pot pies, stewed chicken, and potato dishes.
