Instead of bringing home the ACTUAL celery my husband somehow only brought home leaves. Can these be eaten and, if so, are they just cut up and cooked like cilantro or parsley? Do they give the same flavor as celery seed or something, like a spice?
Big thanks to anyone who can help.

celery leaves are where the taste is excellent in soups and stews. they are a great taste just like the celery stalk, i use them all the time

Thank God, I really needed the flavor and tried not to be livid when I saw I didn't get the stalk. Thanks Micky.
Also, is it ok to use in (for example) potato salad?

Thanks, I don't have the seeds just the leaves and I don't have green onions so I'm grating white onions and hoping the green from the celery leaves will give it the color. I have a great recipe and so far so good. Thanks for the help though, it wouldn't be the same without that celery flavor. You're a doll~

Oh it was great Micky, thanks. My husband even liked it and he usually doesn't care for cold pasta (or potato) salads. I am thinking to buy more of it and dry it and save it for the months when celery is not 'in season'. Thanks for your wisdom, you're an asset here.
