Celery Seeds

Celery (Apium graveolens and A. rapaceum) is a member of the parsley family. Celery was originally used for medicinal purposes, such as sedatives, before being used for food. The plant grows wild in wet ground throughout most of Europe and was first cultivated in the Mediterranean region over 3000 years ago. The first use of celery as a culinary ingredient was as a flavouring, and the earliest printed record of a food use is from France dating to 1623. Today, celery is a staple ingredient in a lot of vegetable-based dishes and soups.

Ideal for use in a wide range of dishes, growing celery will appeal to many as a versatile ingredient used in a wealth of recipes.

Growing Celery from Seed

The key to successfully growing celery is to ensure there is plenty of moisture in the ground throughout the growing season. Celery prefers a sunny site with well-prepared soil. Sow under cover and harden off seedlings before planting out from late May. Keep very well-watered (especially in dry weather) and feed regularly during the summer.

As a delicious and highly versatile vegetable, celery makes for the perfect addition to any garden. What's more, celery is packed with plenty of nutrients (including vitamins A, C and K), antioxidants and fibre. From salads to stir-fries, celery can be included in a multitude of dishes as a flavoursome and healthy addition to your cooking.
