Introduction

Source your next container of whole celery seed directly from Egypt — available as Whole Seed or Ground Celery Seed, Sortex-processed to meet your exact specifications for spice blending, celery salt manufacture, pickling, or extraction.

Celery seed is small — roughly 1 mm — and that size is the whole processing problem. Seed that fine sits in the same fraction as soil, sand, and chaff, which is why market-grade celery seeds so often arrive gritty. Cleaning it properly takes optical sorting, not screens.

We Sortex-process every lot for that reason. What you are buying is celery seed clean enough to grind without contaminating the mill, and aromatic enough to carry a blend at normal inclusion rates. Our family has traded medicinal herbs and aromatic seed for over sixty years.

Available Forms

Choose the form that best matches your processing requirements:

Whole Celery Seed — 98–99% purity (Sortex) — the standard grade for spice grinders, pickling processors, and blenders. Ships as dried celery seeds, cleaned and ready for milling.

Ground Celery Seed — milled to your mesh specification. Celery seed’s volatile oil is concentrated and escapes quickly once the seed is broken, so ground celery seeds lose aroma noticeably faster than whole. We mill close to the dispatch date rather than holding ground stock. If you have grinding capacity, whole seed is usually the better purchase.

Quality & Certifications

We stand behind the quality of our celery seeds because we build long-term supply partnerships.

For independent verification, we accept third-party inspection by SGS or another inspection company of your choice, at the buyer’s expense. We encourage it rather than asking you to take our word.

Our certificates and registrations include:

• FDA (USA) — registration 16648031398
• MFDS (Korea) — registration EG000000122
• NFSA (Egypt) — White List, June 2025, HACCP applied
• AEC — Agricultural Export Council
• ISO 9001 & ISO 22000 certified for quality and food safety management
• DUNS and GACC (China) registered

View our certificates and registrations for support with import compliance.

Beyond certificates, we rely on our family experience and reputation. Our roots in the herb trade go back to 1960, beginning with our grandfather. We protect that reputation with every shipment and seek lasting relationships with importers.

Shipping, Export Coordination & Documentation

Shipping & Logistics:

Empty containers are inspected upon arrival at our facility, thoroughly cleaned, and lined with plastic sheeting on the floor to protect the bags from dust and contamination. Silica gel is also placed inside the container to help control humidity and maintain the quality of the celery seeds throughout transit.

Packaging, Shelf Life & Storage

Packing Configurations:

• 25 kg Polypropylene (PP) bags for standard bulk packing
• 25 kg paper kraft bags for added protection during handling and transit
• Customized B2B packing available on request

Shelf Life: Up to 24 months for whole seed when stored under recommended conditions. Ground celery seed is best used within 12 months.

Supply Capacity & What Affects Celery Seed Price

Supply Capacity:

• MOQ: 10
• Container capacity: 20′ ≈ 12.50 MT | 40′ ≈ 27 MT
• Regular monthly shipping availability
• Contract-based programs for continuous annual-volume supply

What Affects Celery Seed Price:

• Purity grade — Sortex processing removes soil and sand that mechanical screening leaves behind at this particle size, and it costs more to produce
• Product form — whole seed or milled
• Order volume
• Packaging configuration
• Timing of the order relative to the harvest season

Because celery seed price varies according to these factors, we quote each shipment individually rather than publish a fixed rate. For better planning, check our Egyptian Herbs, Spices, Seeds & Legumes Harvest Calendar to understand seasonal timing. Send us your specifications and destination port for an accurate quotation within 24 hours.

FAQs

Q1. Who are we? We are a third-generation family business established in 2007, with family roots in the herb trade going back to 1960. We process our products in two facilities: manual processing for delicate products and mechanized sorting and processing.

Q2. What is the difference between celery seed and celery salt? Celery salt is a blend — ground celery seed mixed with salt, typically in a small ratio. Celery seed is the raw spice. If you manufacture celery salt, whole celery seed is your input, and buying whole rather than ground gives you control over grind size and freshness.

Q3. Should I buy whole or ground celery seed? Whole, if you have milling capacity. Celery seed’s volatile oil is concentrated and escapes quickly once the seed is broken, so celery seed ground loses aroma noticeably faster. We mill to order close to dispatch for buyers without grinding lines.

Q4. Do you supply celery seeds for planting? This page is spice grade under HS 0910.99 — cleaned for food use rather than tested for germination. Sowing-grade celery seed is a different product with different documentation and a different HS code (1209.91). Contact us if that is what you need.

Q5. Is this the same as your dried celery leaves? Same plant, different part and different product. The seed is the aromatic spice; the leaf is a dehydrated vegetable flake used in bouillon and soup. See our dried celery leaves page.

Q6. Can I arrange independent inspection? Yes, and we encourage it. SGS or an equivalent third party can inspect any container before shipment. You can also verify through 

a factory visit or video verification, and follow your shipment through our export process. Learn more about our Process

Q7. Do you seek long-term relationships with buyers? Yes. We serve customers across 21 countries spanning the Americas, Africa, Europe, Asia, the Gulf region, and Australia. We want every first shipment, and every shipment that follows, to strengthen trust and build a lasting partnership.

Q8. Do you supply the local market? No. We supply export markets only.
