Celery is a versatile vegetable that can be used in a variety of dishes. It has a mild, slightly sweet flavor that is refreshing and satisfying. Celery is also a good source of nutrients, including vitamins A and C, potassium, and fiber.

The distinctive taste of celery comes from its high content of certain essential oils, including limonene, geraniol, and apiole. These oils give celery its characteristic aroma and flavor. Celery is available in several different colors, including green, red, and white.

The most common variety is green celery, which has a crisp texture and a slightly bitter taste. Red celery is slightly sweeter than green celery and has a softer texture. White celery is the mildest-tasting variety and has a very crisp texture.
