Vegetable
Tango
B tier
Tango is marketed as a less-stringy, smooth-ribbed green celery for fresh markets—easier snacking without aggressive peeling of each stick. Flavour stays recognisably celery-savoury with good juiciness when cold and crisp. Home garden packets often praise its tender petioles for family lunchboxes. Ideal for peanut-butter sticks and juice where strings annoy children and adults alike. Still dice for soup bases without apology. Harvest young for maximum tenderness before ribs toughen late in the season. Pair Tango with complementary seasonings and a cooking method such as Raw Snacking to show the Reduced String side of the ingredient.
