celery

Fibrous salad stalks

Celery is a plant with long, pale green stalks eaten raw or cooked.

The crisp, fibrous stalks are often served with dips, added to salads, or used as an aromatic base in soups and stews: celery, onion, and carrot make up a classic mirepoix.

Celery has a mild, slightly bitter flavor and high water content.
