About Celery

Celery is a cultivated plant eaten mainly for its long, crisp leaf stalks, with the leaves and seeds also used in some cuisines. The stalks are pale green to green, strongly aromatic, and commonly used raw or cooked in salads, soups, stocks, sauces, braises, and stews.

Raw celery has a fresh, vegetal flavour and a characteristic crunch, with fibrous, juicy tissue. Chopping and cooking soften the stalks while retaining their aromatic contribution; celery leaves can provide a more herb-like seasoning.

It is commonly sold as whole bunches or trimmed stalks, and leaves may remain attached or be included separately. The stalks are eaten raw in salads, crudités, relishes, and garnishes, or softened in liquid-based and braised preparations.

Reference values for the specific food form shown. Other varieties, brands and preparations can differ.

Portions & preparation

Use the edible stalks and tender leaves, trimming fibrous ends as the reference requires. Raw sticks, chopped celery, cooked celery, stock, and juice are distinct forms. Match the preparation and determine whether oil, salt, broth, dressing, or other ingredients remain with the served portion.

Compare the right form: Reference raw or cooked celery stalks and leaves, chopped, juiced, or used in stock; specify trimming and retained recipe ingredients.

Diet considerations

Celery is a plant vegetable. Plain raw or cooked celery is plant-derived, but stocks, salads, soups, stuffings, and dressed preparations may add meat, dairy, eggs, oil, or cereal ingredients. Compatibility depends on the complete recipe, while portion and preparation influence the carbohydrate pattern of the serving.
