Description/Taste
Rose celery is small in size with elongated, slender stalks and frilly, flat, deeply lobed leaves. The thin stalks are firm, smooth, hollow, and pale pink to bright fuchsia. Connected to the pink stalks, the leaves have serrated edges with generally three lobes and are bright green with a crisp, vegetal flavor. Rose celery is highly aromatic, more pungent in taste, and is smaller in size than European celery. When raw, Rose celery is crunchy with a robust herbal flavor, and when cooked, the stalks soften and become sweet, tender, and crisp.
Seasons/Availability
Rose celery is available year-round.
Current Facts
Rose celery, botanically classified as Apium graveolens, is slender, brightly colored stalks that grow to be less than thirty centimeters in height and are members of the Apiaceae family. Considered to be a rare heirloom variety from China, Pink celery was once extremely popular in Europe in the 19th century but eventually fell out of favor as new trends overtook the culinary scene. In the modern-day, Pink celery remains a unique item that is not commercially grown and is only found through home gardeners and specialty farms. Pink celery can grow in temperate or tropical climates across the world and is favored for its unusual coloring and strong, aromatic flavor.
