Description/Taste
Fresh, sweet, and about the size of cilantro or parsley, baby celery delivers an intense celery flavor that is much stronger than mature celery. The concentrated flavor can be contributed to the rich and robust celery leaves, one leaf often packing more punch than an entire mature stalk.

Geography/History
Native to the Mediterranean region and cultivated over three thousand years, celery is a biennial herbaceous plant of the Umbelliferae, botanically named Apium graveolens. Its wild ancestor was called "smallage", a bitter tasting marsh plant that was used primarily as a medicine. Ancient Greeks called it "selinon" and in the ninth century, writer Strabo was the first to refer to selinon as "celery" in his poem. "Celery" comes from the French word "celeri", derived from an ancient Greek word. A member of the carrot family and related to anise, parsley and parsnips, celery was first recorded as a food plant in France in 1623. C
