Density 94 · +1 vs Spices & herbs medianCelery seed's spice-rack punch is easy to underestimate: it scores 94 of 100, Elite band, ranking 26th of 60 spices and herbs, with iron at 249% DV per 100 g, calcium at 136% DV and magnesium at 105% DV.
In practice it is used a pinch at a time, in pickling brines, coleslaw dressing or spice blends, with a typical serving of just one teaspoon (2 g). Those striking DV figures are calculated per 100 g, a quantity of celery seed no one eats in a sitting, so the actual nutrient contribution from a teaspoon is a small fraction of the numbers above.
