popshirt Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I'm searching for celery seed to use in my favourite salad dressing and not able to find it. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samtam Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I'm afraid you can't get it here, you're right. I have it brought over from Hong Kong, (Great! supermarket), or buy it in London. It's also very good for gout prevention, so I'm told. What's the recipe of your salad dressing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salad Dressing recipe: 1/2 cup oil 1/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup cider vinegar (or equal parts white and balsamic vinegar) 1/2 Tbsp. dry mustard 1/2 Tbsp. celery seed 1/2 tsp. salt the celery seed is really critical as flavouring........dressing improves with age when kept in refrigerator sometimes I also add chopped garlic and for Thai guests a little chili Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popshirt Posted February 17, 2007 Author Share Posted February 17, 2007 I found celery seed at a shop called "Spice Story" and is located on the ground floor at Siam Paragon. And it is a product of Thailand, also used to "reduce high-pressure and sleep disorder". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LtLOS Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Celery powder is available at most foodlands, I've found celery seed off and on at Villa over the years. To sub the powder add about 1/3 to 1/4 of what is called for in seed. I use it quite often in dressings, and home made mayonnaise. I've found certain dried spices to be way over priced, and have gone to buying bulk on the net and then vacuum packing and freezing them. Just checked celery seed at one of my sources and I can get about 450 gms for around 100 Baht. I have a lot of folks traveling back and forth to the states, so its easy to get someone to carry it back for me, if you don't have that available, shipping is not too bad, when you consider local costs, and these can be sent sent snail mail, so not so expensive if you have the time.
