It varies. I've had some very salty celery and some extremely sweet celery.
Just has to do with the weather when it was growing I think. Celery is kind
of salty to start with. I find I need less salt when I cook with it.

Yes, celery naturally has a high sodium content but that it tastes
extrordinarilly salty to you at times is because at times ones
sensitivity to the taste of salt changes due to changes in body
chemistry, depending on what you're been eating and/or medications you
take, and even how much water you drink. Ones emotional state alters
taste sensitivity too, as of course does aging. Taste is not static,
taste is dynamic. Peoples taste changes all the time. Also as celery
ages and loses water its salt content becomes more concentrated.

Celery is funny stuff. It is usually quite bland, but I have on occasion
found it to have much more flavour than usual. A bout a month ago I put
one stalk of celery into a pot of soup and it turned out to be too much
celery flavour.

Hmmm... I just never noticed it to be salty before.

I keep dried celery for soup and such if I don't have the real stuff in the
house. I only need to use a teensy bit of that.

I've never noticed celery being particularly salty. Possibly, because I
usually use it cooked. I don't really like the standard green celery and
like it naturally blanched, which avoids the bitter chlorophyll taste
but I have to go to Amish farmers' markets to get it.

Dehy celery works much better if you first rehydrate it in cold water
for like 20 minutes, then toss it in a pot of hot soup... the heat,
any acidity, and fat will prevent the flavoids in dehy vegetables from
fully releasing... this is especially noticable with dehy celery. I'm
a firm believer in keeping dehy veggies on hand, too many times I went
into the fridge only to find I ran out or the celery, bell pepper,
etc, has melted to mush.

Maybe your sensitivities were in a heightened state... could be your
meds, or you just perfomed oral sex.

I also keep red bell peppers and onions. I tried carrots but they tend to
be chewy.

A stalk would be quite a lot of celery.
Perhaps you meant a rib.

I've never found much flavor for soup
in the ribs. It's mostly in the leaves.
Celery leaves are great in soup.

I always get stalk and rib confused. And then there was that garlic thing.
I thought a clove of garlic was the whole bulb. The only reason I thought
this was that my husband REALLY likes garlic and would ask me to put one or
two whole ones into the dish.

I didn't realize my mistake until my SIL had to take over the Christmas
recipes one year when my MIL first became ill. She had me try a stuffed
pepper and then apologized and said that she didn't realize that a clove was
one little bit and not the whole bulb. I was like... Uh... Um... It..it
isn't? She thought I was joking. I wasn't. My mom never cooked with
garlic. I didn't know. And the only garlic I had seen my MIL use was the
powdered kind.

I like 2-3 stalks in my chicken soup. I never tried celery seed in the
soup, but it's a necessity in BBQ sauce around here.

Celery seed has a very different flavor from celery stalks. Celery
seed is what flavors celery salt. Dehydrated celery is simply dried
celery stalks, typically diced. Some people add celery seed to
chicken soup but I find it's too bitter, I prefer celery stalks with
the leaves.

I try to use ones with leaves, and plenty of parsley.

My dad always put celery seed on his mac and cheese. That to me sounds
strange.

Before chopping, I always try a bite to see if it's bitter, or tired,
or otherwise unpleasant.

LOL joan! I believe we ascertained back in 2012 when Julie first posted
this, most RFC'rs had never encountered "salty celery". Damn google
groupers can't figure out they're replying to ancient posts.

old posts aside, celery salt has a long and illustrious career.

It's been a staple on "Chi-dogs" (Chicago-style hot dogs) fer yrs.
Emeril's "BAM" is heavy on celery salt (like most Cajun cuisine). I use
it all the time when I forget to buy real celery.

I don't believe I have any celery salt in my stash of spices and herbs but I
have and frequently use celery seed. Along with celery in tuna salad so is
a generous bit of the seed and great in Thanksgiving dressing as well.

Celery salt is ground celery seed plus fine salt... very good on roast
beef. Pensys is the best celery salt I've tried, it's mostly ground
celery seed. It's very good on steak but use sparingly, ground celery
seed is potent.

My only complaint with any of the salted spices and herbs is there is more salt
than anything else. If salt is listed as the first ingredient then there is
more of that than anything else.

Agree!

I've not used CS on steak, but on many other dishes.

Good stuff.

Of course celery seed is from celery, from a variatal called Smallage;

Smallage is a wild type of celery:

That's why I'm googling it. Before u throw it out. I never tasted salty celery in all my 55 yrs.

Never had a Chi-dog (Chicago dog)?

Chi-dogs are "required" to include "celery salt". I use "celery salt"
all the time. It's a major ingredient in Creole/Cajun spice blend.
That Emeril's "BAM" seasoning is specially heavy with "celery salt".
