About Leaf celery
Leaf celery is a celery type cultivated chiefly for its aromatic leaves and slender stems, rather than for thick, pale stalks. The leaves are green and divided, with a crisp or tender texture depending on age; the flavour is distinctly celery-like and often assertive. It is used fresh or cooked as an herb-like vegetable.
Leaves and stems can be chopped into soups, stews, salads, and other savoury foods, or used as a garnish. It may be sold in bunches, with leaves and fine stems together. It is distinct from ordinary stalk celery in emphasis and form, although both have a related celery flavour.
