Red Celery

This beautiful variety has a red base and inner leaves that fade back to green near the top. Its texture and flavor are a far cry from the extra crunchy, super watery and often bland blanched celery you're used to seeing at the supermarket. Please note that with this variety, you should expect to see smaller, thinner and less sturdy stalks than with more standard celery varieties. This Red Celery has a very pungent flavor: rich in bitterness and a sweet salinity near the red base, with a hearty and vegetal bitterness taking over when you get closer to the leaves--making the top half better for soups and stocks than snacks or raw applications.
