Description

Celery leaves are the green, leafy part of celery, a plant belonging to the umbellifer family, known for its characteristic fresh and slightly anise-like flavor. These leaves, often underestimated, have an intense aroma and a flavor that can range from mild to slightly bitter, adding an aromatic and herbal touch to culinary preparations.

Celery is native to the Mediterranean region and has been used since ancient times both in cooking and in traditional medicine. In gastronomy, celery leaves are used to enhance broths, soups, stews, salads, and sauces, providing a fresh flavor and a bright green coloration.

From a nutritional point of view, celery leaves are low in calories and rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as minerals such as potassium and calcium. They also contain antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that may promote digestive and cardiovascular health.

Regarding their synonyms in Hispanic America, celery leaves may also be found under names such as celery sprigs, green celery leaves, or simply green celery. In some countries, the term celery cilantro is used colloquially to refer to these leaves due to their intense aroma, although it should not be confused with common cilantro.
