Celery salt

The primary ingredient is table salt and the flavouring agent is ground seeds from celery[1] or its relative lovage.

[3][4] Celery salt normally contains an anticaking agent such as silicon dioxide[1] or calcium silicate.

[2] As a vegetable, celery seeds have potassium as the dominant ion over sodium (ninefold more).

[7] It is also commonly used to season the Chicago-style hot dog, the New York System wiener, salads, coleslaw and stews.

[8] Because sodium nitrate, a chemical that serves as a food preservative, occurs naturally in celery, celery salt is often used by food producers to prevent spoilage while avoiding listing sodium nitrate on the ingredients list directly.
