DIY Celery Salt from Dried Celery

Dehydrated celery makes a perfect medium to mix with your favorite salt (Real Salt is a staple for my kitchen. I usually pick it up from Amazon).

It is a new way to learn to use your dried celery pieces to create something more than just a soup ingredient!

By mixing 2:1, you’ll get a feel for a good flavor.

If this mixture is too salty for you, you can add more dried celery, blend again, and taste.

Ingredients:

• Dehydrated Celery
• Dehydrated Celery Leaves – An alternative to using whole celery pieces. A lighter flavor.
• Salt – you can use any favorite salt except table salt. This contains compounds that will make canning projects cloudy if you use this in pressure canning recipes.

Nutrition Note:

For those with renal issues or high blood pressure, powdered celery (without the additional salt) may give you a little salty flavor to foods.

While it is listed as a low-potassium food, organic celery can have elevated sodium levels compared to the traditional lighter-colored, older celery bunches. The deeper green color and younger stalks give contain more sodium that hasn’t been processed away.

One stalk of organic celery usually has about 35.2 milligrams, or 0.00124 ounces, of sodium.)

So if you are on a low-salt, low-potassium diet, it might be a good way to add salt flavor to lighter dishes. But make sure to ask your doctor or nephrologist if it is within your plan.
