Herb Description
Known as Leaf Celery or French Celery
This is a leafy, aromatic herb that can be substituted for celery in dishes if you want to add flavor without the stringy fibers. Often mistaken for flat-leafed Parsley, Cutting Celery has a dark, glossy leaf with a serrated edge and small sprig-like stalks. The leaves and stems can be used to add flavor to salads, vegetables, stews and soups.
Related to the carrot family, this flavorful culinary herb packs a punch of taste into its slender stems and delicate leaves. Just a few sprigs of this savory herb will replace the taste of an entire bunch of store-bought celery.
Apium graveolens
Characteristics: Cutting celery is often confused with parsley or lovage, but has a distinct celery flavor. It is used in recipes where its stalky cousin wouldn’t be suitable.
Light: Cutting celery will thrive in full sun to partial shade.
Water: Give your plant a deep watering when it is dry to the touch.
Soil: Cutting celery likes well-drained soil.
Use: Harvest cutting celery like you would parsley- trim stalks around the outside of the bunch, allowing inner young shoots time to grow. Both stems and leaves pull their weight as a delicious culinary herb. It does not dry well so use fresh as needed.
