Celery

Celery consists of long, slender, pale green stalks that are crisp and crunchy. Each stalk is ribbed on the outer surface, with a smooth, firm texture. The stalks fan out into leafy tops, which are often a deeper green and more tender. When snapped or bitten, fresh celery emits a distinct, refreshing sound and releases a mild, slightly peppery aroma. Its flavor is clean, slightly watery, and subtly bitter, with a hint of natural saltiness. The crunch and refreshing quality make it a versatile ingredient in salads, soups, or as a snack, often paired with dips.
