I use the seeds and leaves quite a bit. The leaves I dry and add to salt to make celery salt, or use fresh as a culinary herb. Being part French and Creole, we consider celery one of the 3-5 essential ingredients. The seed is ground and used as a spice, usually mixed with other herbs and spices in Creole seasoning, or used whole in pickling. It is also medicinal - reduces blood pressure, aids digestion, anti-inflammatory, diuretic, brings on menses, increases mother's milk, etc.
