Vegetable
Safir
B tier
Safir is a European leaf celery selection known for dark aromatic foliage and compact plants suited to pot and border herb culture. Flavour is clean, strong celery without thick rib waste filling the compost bin. Used like a parsley-celery hybrid seasoning in continental kitchens that soup daily. Harvest outer stems regularly so the centre keeps producing. Chop into fish soups, poultry stuffing, and root-vegetable roasts. A named seed choice when generic leaf celery is unlabelled at the garden centre. Seasonality and storage change how Safir tastes; peak lots underline why Dark Leaf still earns a separate name in serious kitchens.
