Sellerie

Although a tasty ingredient in soups, dismissing celery as merely a soup addition would border on discrimination. Its culinary possibilities are incredibly diverse, and it has been known as a medicinal plant for thousands of years. Its historical roots trace back to Ancient Egypt, where it was mentioned as a remedy for rheumatic ailments as early as 1200 BC. Celery helps with inflammation, its components protect the stomach, and it is even used against cancer. It can be boiled, baked, steamed, sautéed, or enjoyed raw in countless salad variations, where it can best showcase its healthy properties.
