This light pink celery, almost a bubble-gum color originated from China, and has been popularized in the U.S. by Baker Creek Seeds. In China, celery is believed to have cooling properties that act as an anti-inflammatory in the digestive tract to calm and soothe the body. Commonly used as a flavoring in the base of Chinese cooking, pink celery is used in northern China as a specialty, high-end ingredient that is served at gourmet restaurants. This easy-to-grow variety has a strong flavor and is a great choice for beginner gardeners. Consider harvesting it young and eat it like cilantro with periodic sowing for continuous harvest.
