Chinese Celery

Vegetable

Description
Small and rather dainty with more leaves than stalks, aromatic Chinese celery grows in an attractive rosette stemming from the base of its roots. Fragrant and graceful, this ancient Asian vegetable-herb's hollow thin crispy stems produce delicate wispy leaves. Rarely eaten raw, its spunky flavor is pungent and a bit peppery. Cooking sweetens and tames its taste.
