    “Celery tastes like water” is somwthing people only say because they heard other people say it. It clearly does not

      I think we’re back to the cucumber controversy. Or the mushroom one. Anyone being able to smell ants…?

          I don’t know if I would call it spicy, been a long time since I had just celery though. But I am really sensitive to the taste of it.

          Even if you chop it up small and cook it into something, for me it ruins a meal and gives it this horrible aftertaste. Probably best described as puke, that kinda acidic taste

            I’m seconding what that other person said. You might have oral allergy syndrome.

            Fun fact; that’s how I found out I have oral allergy syndrome. I asked a friend how so many people can ignore the way bananas burn like that and apparently, they don’t.

            Celery is like the opposite of acid or burning or spice. It’s green and water.

        You may be allergic to it, because celery has zero spice.

      My sole reason for wanting to try rhubarb pie is because of people who’ve had rhubarb saying how sour it is. I fucking love sour stuff, and celery. So hells yeah I want some rhubarb. I never see it around here though 😬

          You mentioning eating the stems raw made me think of it and instantly increased my saliva production. It’s not easily palatable, it’s intense, you’re right, but man is it good. I grew up on that stuff. Cracking that raw stem and munching it while doing gardening is a stimmy miracle

        When I say “better” what I really mean is “more socially acceptable”.

        Carrots are also more socially acceptable than my finger…

    This is only true of the celery you find in grocery stores.

    Grow some in your garden, you’re in for a world of flavor you never knew existed

      Same shit people say about cucumbers and they all taste like bland ass. Literally worse than iced tap water.

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celery

      Raw celery is 95% water, 3% carbohydrates, 0.7% protein, and contains negligible fat (table). A 100-gram (3+1⁄2-ounce) reference serving provides 16 calories of food energy, and is a rich source of vitamin K, providing 28% of the Daily Value, with no other micronutrients in significant content (table).

      That’s really it, soup and stew. I opt for the celery root, toss it in a bag, call it a day.

    I “peel” celery like how I peel a potato. So basically peel off the stringy part. Then I cut them diagonally or at a 45° angle. I then stir fry them with carrots and string peas and baby corn and shallots with some garlic and salt.

    It’s so crunchy and fresh tasting.

    And have it taste like eating shampoo or some other chemical soup not to be left within reach of children.

    Growing your own celery is a game changer. Most produce we get in the store is hopelessly bland.

    Celery loses most of it’s flavor quickly after harvest. When it’s actually fresh it’s extremely tasty.
