Macarons & vegetables: Celery

A cultivated plant belonging to the Apiaceas family. The entire plant has a strong acrid flavour, i.e. bitter. However, the blanching of the stems during cultivation makes it lose this quality, acquiring a sweeter flavour. Most members of this family are cold-season plants and are recognised for their abundance in aromatic substances. Normally, the seeds contain the volatile oils responsible for its flavour.
