Celery

Alternative Name:

Apium graveolens

Celery (Apium graveolens) has a fascinating history that spans thousands of years.

It originated in the Mediterranean region and was initially cultivated for medicinal purposes. Ancient Greeks, Romans, and Chinese used it both as a flavoring and a medicine. The earliest recorded culinary use of celery dates to 1623 in France.

Over time, celery evolved into the familiar vegetable we know today, with large, fleshy, succulent leafstalks. Some modern varieties have eliminated the stringiness associated with traditional celery.

Its versatility continues to make it a popular ingredient in soups, stocks, and salads.
