Description

Wild celery is a wild plant used as an ingredient in various traditional recipes from Latin America. Also known in some regions as wild celery or mountain celery, this plant belongs to the Apiaceae family and is characterized by its aromatic stems and leaves, similar to common celery, but with a more intense and earthy flavor.

Its origin is mainly in mountainous and forested areas of Latin American countries, where it grows naturally. Due to its habitat, wild celery is valued for its freshness and for providing a unique aroma to traditional stews, soups, broths, and sauces.

In terms of properties, wild celery is rich in fiber, vitamins such as A and C, as well as essential minerals like potassium and calcium. It also contains antioxidant compounds that may aid digestion and have anti-inflammatory effects. Due to its nutritional profile and distinctive flavor, it is an ideal ingredient for enriching homemade dishes with an authentic and natural touch.

In different Hispanic American countries, it may also be known as mountain celery, wild celery, or simply celery, although it is important to distinguish it from cultivated celery to take advantage of its particular characteristics in cooking.
