ORIGIN

Celery is a plant originating from the Mediterranean Basin. Its scientific name is Apium Graveolens var. dulce and it belongs to the Apiaceae family. It is often called ‘celery stalks’ or ‘blanched celery’.

Written evidence shows that this herb appeared in 800 BC. The Chinese and Egyptians started using it in cooking in 500 BC. Celery appeared in Italy in the 17th century and, a bit later on, in France and the whole of Europe. Nowadays, it is sold in the form of bunches and used as a herb.
