Do you want celery seed or celery salt. Big difference in usages.

You need to also consider shipping costs, are there import duties, plus base price.
Based on $.40 CAD to 1 LS a $9.00 cad = 22.54 LS (amazon prices) and that would certainly be the max I would spend!

OH! is that 8 LS for 100 gr????
Good price!

I checked out the link that @Badjak posted. I had to giggle when I read:

A plant that is common all over the world but originates from the Mediterranean basin, the parts used in celery are the root, The leaves and seeds. The seeds are very tiny and have a special taste.

What kind of celery do they have in Israel? Don't they use the stems? That's the main part we use in North America. OTOH, they may be using the cultivar that is grown for the root. The stems on that cultivar are thin and much stronger tasting. I wouldn't want to put it in a tuna salad. I would put put chopped up stems from that cultivar in a soup or stew. The seeds might have a stronger flavour too. I seem to remember reading that celery seeds are usually harvested from wild celery when they will be used as a spice, since the flavour is stronger.
