CHINESE WHITE CELERY

Easy to grow! A delicate and delicious Chinese variety with snow-white stalks. White celery has been cultivated in the Chinese town of Liyang for over 800 years. Stems are long, slender and hollow, with strong celery flavor, ideal for Asian soups and stews, but equally suitable for mirepoix and other recipes calling for celery. This variety is known to be easy to grow and more heat tolerant than other celery varieties. Chinese celery is also known as cutting celery; the slender stalks are rich in celery flavor and will lend depth to bases, stocks, and soups. The stems are also superb as a snack or used in place of European celery; they’re just a bit skinnier than grocery store celery.
