Details
This deep red celery is attractive in the garden as well as on your plate, and retains its color when cooked. Red Stalk celery has been grown since the 1700s and has a more robust flavor than regular celery. Though the stalks are thinner, the flavor and color it adds to salads, soups, or stews make up for it.
