McCormick® Celery Flakes always start with fresh, whole celery. So convenient, it makes it easy to add celery’s bright color and balanced flavor to stuffings, potato salads, soups and more. Celery adds mild, aromatic flavor which is why so many recipes start with chopped celery. Celery along with onions and carrots make up mirepoix, the French vegetable base that begins many soups, stews and braises. Keep Celery Flakes in your pantry so you will always have celery on hand, with no chopping needed and no fresh celery waste. Add it to your recipes for chicken or vegetable soup; barbecue and pasta sauces; and pot roasts and casseroles. For any recipe calling for fresh celery, try 2 tbsp. Celery Flakes in place of ¼ cup chopped fresh celery.
