What to Eat

Edible parts: Fruit

Celery is eaten around the world as a vegetable. In North America and Europe the crisp petiole (leaf stalk) is used. The leaves are strongly flavoured and are used less often, either as a flavouring in soups and stews or as a dried herb. Celery, onions, and bell peppers are the "holy trinity" of Louisiana Creole and Cajun cuisine. Celery, onions, and carrots make up the French mirepoix, often used as a base for sauces and soups. Celery is a staple in many soups. It is used in the Iranian stew khoresh karafs.
