Celery traces its origins back to the Mediterranean region, where it was first cultivated over 3,000 years ago. In ancient Greece and Rome, celery and its seeds were used both as a flavoring and medicine, believed to promote digestion and vitality. Later, it spread to India and Asia, where it became a staple spice in pickles, curries, and Ayurvedic remedies. Celery seeds were also used in traditional European herbal medicine for their diuretic and anti-inflammatory properties. Today, celery seeds are enjoyed globally in both whole and ground form, valued for their culinary versatility and health benefits.
