Celery

Celery is a crunchy, aromatic vegetable widely used in soups, salads, and stews. There are three main types: stalk celery (Pascal celery), celeriac (root celery), and leaf celery. The most common type eaten raw is stalk celery, known for its crisp texture and fresh, slightly salty taste. It is often used as a base vegetable in European cooking (soups, broths, mirepoix).
