CUTTING CELERY

Cutting celery is a variety of celery known for its leaf production, making it a great culinary herb, and generally has a stronger, more assertive flavor. You can use the leaves and stalks fresh or dried in various dishes.

• Flavor: Often described as stronger than regular celery. Think of it as a stronger, more intense version of flat-leaf parsley. Slightly more peppery flavor. 

• Uses: Can be added as a substitute in recipes that call for parsley. Use to flavor a salad, keeping it whole or chopped. Stalks and leaves can be added to soups, stews, and other cooked dishes. A great addition to stocks and broths.

• Tips: Use it fresh for the best flavor and aroma. Because it’s stronger than regular celery, use it sparingly at first to avoid overpowering your dishes.
