Vegetable
Mature Leaf
Celery leaves bring the plant’s aromatic or bitter green character. Tender inner leaves suit raw salads; tougher outer leaves prefer wilting or braising. Wash well, spin dry, and dress or cook soon. Pair bitterness with fat, salt, and acid. Stems can often cook a minute longer than blades.
