How to Make Celery Salt - A Healthy Alternative to Salt

[@gracioustreatz7231]

This is something new to me, Pete. Does it taste as salty as sea salt? This is brilliant 👍👍😍😍 Seems like it's a healthy week this week, I am cooking some vegan dish 😁😊

[@LazyCookPete]

It's not half as salty as sea salt Fiona, but it can be used in place of salt. It is particularly good with quail or plover's eggs, or any hard-boiled eggs. I like to add it to BBQ rubs and Cajun seasoning. It is a common seasoning in raw vegan cuisine.

[@LazyCookPete]

You're welcome Taste of Trini, it's really good with boiled eggs and as an ingredient of BBQ rubs - particularly for pork and chicken. It is often used in classic Cajun seasoning, but I don't think it is in Slap Ya Mama.

[@TasteofTrini]

@@LazyCookPete Ohh nice! I really thought it was mixed with salt too.

[@RebeccaKatsuya]

Thank you for posting this. I’ve always known celery salt to be made of celery, but recently I’ve only been able to find commercial celery salt with added salt, & I was starting to think I’d made it up in my head! Very nice to see that what I know as celery salt does in fact exist!

[@LazyCookPete]

You're welcome. I love it on hard boiled eggs 😋

[@ChefRafi]

Very creative use of celery, Pete. We often buy too much celery and cannot eat it before it goes bad. Now we know what to do with it!

[@LazyCookPete]

Yes Chef Rafi; if I find some unused celery in my fridge I just make celery salt of it, and that way I never waste it and always have plenty for seasonings.

[@StephaniesKitchen]

That’s a great video Pete!!! And you’re right it’s a healthy alternative to salt. How long will that keep?

[@LazyCookPete]

Thank you Stephanie's Kitchen! It starts to lose some of its pale green colour to more of a khaki colour after a few months on the shelf, but as a salt it lasts longer than I've ever needed it to. At a guess I'd say 2 years. As it starts to lose colour I then use it all up in BBQ rubs and spice mixes.

[@brendastrandrigdon6201]

Did you add salt? Or is it naturally salty tasting when ground ? I have a dehyrater, and have some celery in a jar too. I got busy and canned 5 quarts of sweet potatoes this morning, 3 with just a bit of salt 2 in syrup for casseroles or a quick couple of pies as we prefer sweet potato over pumpkin in this house.

[@trailtoimprove]

[@LazyCookPete]

You're welcome. Most of the videos are made by preppers or homesteaders I think, and most of them have dehydrators. The rest of us have to make do with what we have to hand.

[@SimplyElegantHomeCooking]

Wow, I always thought that celery salt had actual salt in it! Gotta love a 1 ingredient recipe!

[@LazyCookPete]

Commercial brands sometimes have sodium nitrate (as a preservative), salt and anti-caking agents added, but I would never advocate the use of this; certainly not for the small amounts we use at home. My aim here is to produce at home something better than you can buy. You can also add the herb lovage (levisticum officinale) to give a stronger celery taste.

[@aditi1998]

Celery actually has sodium nitrate naturally occuring in it. The salt itself is used as a preservative so they can avoid listing sodium nitrate on their ingredients

[@SheCooks]

Very healthy recipe Pete

[@LazyCookPete]

Thank you She Cook's!

[@mvstormyoneadventures]

This is great...I have used celery salt many times but have never made it

[@LazyCookPete]

I used to hate it when I ran out of celery salt, because it has that unique flavour we enjoy. Since I learned this recipe I have never run out, because it is so easy to make. You can also use semi wilted celery instead of tossing it out.

Hey Pete. A long, long, LOOOOOONG time ago, back when I used this thing called an oven, I gave this a go. But you know what? I haven't tried it in the air fryer. Thank you for that and I'll let you know how it works out. Much, much thanks and boogie boogie!

[@LazyCookPete]

An air fryer does a great job anyway Ivy, on the lowest setting for a couple of hours. I only use the air fryer now, it's more efficient than using the fan oven.

[@TheHappyWhisk]

@@LazyCookPete I dry my chilis out in the air fryer on low. Really wonderful tool. Though I wouldn't say no to a proper dehydrator either. Down the line when the studio is done. Thanks for the video Pete. I came here because you mentioned it in your most recent video.

[@LazyCookPete]

It's a matter of scale I guess Ivy; for small amounts and air fryer is probably the better option, but for large quantities Emma bulk-processes using a professional dehydrator appliance.

[@TheHappyWhisk]

I used to do BIG batches when I was single. Really was fun to just make a bunch and the food lasts. I have my eye on one particular model. But not yet. Too much to still do in the kitchen.

Hi Pete, I have a question ? Where is the salt ? I can read that this is an alternative to salt, but I always thought there was salt in it. We buy it in the store and it tastes quite salty. We only use it in tomato juice ;-) I have a nice anecdote on celery salt. Two years ago, my husband and I took the ferry from Calais to Dover and we ordered a fresh tomato juice in a bar on the ferry. It was quite tasteless, I must say, and I asked for celery salt. I wasn't sure if this was the correct word for it (now I know it is ;-)) because I translated it from Dutch "selderijzout". The staff looked as if I was asking "God knows what" and they said they were going to get it in the kitchen. I think we waited for almost 10 minutes until they returned. We were afraid our glasses would be empty by then ;-) And when they returned, they served us a plate with little bags of salt and a glass with short celery stalks ;-) We had a good laugh and we used the celery stalks as a spoon to stir in the salt and took a bite now and then. HAHAHA...

[@LazyCookPete]

I had the same reaction when I first discovered this recipe Dominique, wondering where the salt was. It is a common assumption that salt is added. Salt is not added because celery is intrinsically salty. Good quality celery salt contains only celery, and that's it. Commercial brands sometimes have sodium nitrate (as a preservative) and anti-caking agents added, but I would never advocate the use of this; certainly not for the small amounts we use at home.

[@LazyCookPete]

Your anecdote is very amusing and it highlights the mystery surrounding this wonderful seasoning. To me no bloody Mary is complete without celery salt, and celery stalks with salt is a very poor substitute! You can make an even stronger flavoured celery salt using the herb lovage (levisticum officinale), which is a very commonly used plant in Romanian cuisine, where it is used extensively in soups and stews.

[@co.1157]

Hi, what is this used for? A regular salt replacement? What does it taste like?

It can be used as a salt replacement and as a flavouring for stock and as part of seasoning mixes like Cajun seasoning. I love it with hard boiled eggs 😋

I made the mistake of buying some "celery salt" from Amazon without noticing it had added sea salt ,it was so salty, very strong indeed. (I hope they didn't source it from the Dead Sea as that is 15 times more salty than usual and unsuitable for humans to ingest.) it made it unsuitable for me as I need to cut right down on sodium because of high blood pressure and water retention so BEWARE ! it smelt strongly of celery which I like even with the packet closed, makes the kitchen smell nice . I have left out adding sea salt to my meals over the past few days which made them taste very bland ,BUT I have noticed an immediate improvement in my legs which had quite bad water retention which was uncomfortable and unsightly. I have also stopped eating bread and have lost 7 pounds in a week I have crispbread or corncake's instead, my waistline has also reduced. I wonder if I am gluten intolerant ? I intend to continue with cheese ,my favourite food it does contain a certain amount of salt, we must have some salt in the diet but not too much.. I am now going to make some real celery salt to Pete's recipe and see how that turns out I must have some savoury taste to my meals, I'll be back !

[@LazyCookPete]

I always make my own celery salt, that way I know what's in it. Gluten intolerance is more common than most people may think. You could try bread made from Einkorn or Spelt flour and see how you go with that. It's not a bad idea to cut down on the amount of gluten you eat anyway.
