Fenland celery

Fenland celery is a vegatable belonging to the Apium graveolens species, using traditional methods of growing and harvesting by hand in the area of Cambridgeshire, Suffolk and Norfolk. It is white to green in color, with a brittle, crisp, crunchy and tender structure.

Its unique flavor is rich, nutty and sweet / salty / bitter in equal parts, with mild aniseed overtones. Because of the special growing technique, more of the root is allowed to be kept which is a specially flavorsome part of the celery. Fenland celery is available only from October to December and goes well in salads, soups, with tuna steak, or used in refreshing beverages.
