Description

Celery stalk

The celery stalk is the elongated, crunchy, green stem of the celery plant, commonly used in cooking for its fresh, slightly sweet, and characteristic flavor. It is a versatile ingredient that adds texture and an aromatic touch to numerous preparations, from soups and stews to salads and juices.

Celery originated in the Mediterranean region, where it has been cultivated since antiquity for both its culinary and medicinal properties. It is now consumed worldwide and is especially popular in recipes from Latin America, Spain, and the United States.

Among its properties, the celery stalk is low in calories and rich in fiber, which aids digestion. It also provides antioxidants, vitamins A, C, and K, as well as minerals like potassium and folate. These characteristics make it an ideal food for healthy diets and for adding a fresh and light touch to recipes.

In various Spanish-speaking countries, the celery stalk may have several synonyms, such as apio in general or tallo de apio (celery stem). In some regions, it is also simply known as celery (taking the English name) or apio verde (green celery) to distinguish it from celeriac, whose used parts and flavor are different.
