About Celery Month
United States
Ends: Mar 31, 2024
DESCRIPTION:
Catch the crunch during Celery Month
Celery Month, an annual unofficial event sans sponsor, is an observance highlighting celery, a versatile vegetable known for its crisp texture and distinctive flavor. This month focuses on promoting its various uses in cooking and its health benefits.
Celery is a marshland plant in the family Apiaceae, commonly used as a vegetable. It has long fibrous stalks tapering into leaves. Rich in vitamins and low in calories, celery is praised for its health benefits, which include aiding digestion and providing antioxidants.
Celery is used in the culinary world for its distinctive taste and crunchy texture. It's a staple in soups, salads, and stews and is also popular as a snack, often paired with dips like peanut butter or cream cheese. Additionally, celery seeds and leaves inform seasonings in various cuisines.FROM THE MEDITERRANEAN TO AMERICA
Celery (Apium graveolens) originated in the Mediterranean region. Its history dates back thousands of years to ancient civilizations. Historical evidence suggests that celery, or a similar plant, was cultivated for medicinal purposes in ancient Egypt, Greece, and Italy.
The ancient Greeks used celery and its leafy relative, wild celery (known as "smallage"), in various ways, including as a medicinal plant, a flavoring in cooking, and even in their mythology and athletic games (such as the crowning of winners at the Nemean Games, similar to the use of laurel wreaths at the Olympic Games).
Over time, selective breeding led to the development of the celery we are familiar with today, which has larger, more palatable stalks than its wild ancestors. This cultivation and refinement likely occurred in the 17th century in Europe, after which celery's popularity as a food item increased, spreading to various parts of the world.
Celery Month is an opportunity to educate people on the versatility of celery in cooking, from traditional uses in dishes like chicken noodle soup and Waldorf salad to more creative culinary applications. Throughout Celery Month, promotional events, recipe sharing on social media, and educational campaigns about the nutritional value of celery may occur. These activities aim to inspire people to incorporate more of this healthy vegetable into their meals and to appreciate its role in a balanced diet.
