Celery Hearts are the innermost stalks of the celery plant, selectively harvested for their sweet and delicate flavor. They're tenderer than their outer counterparts, and their lighter color speaks of their subtle hint of unique crispness, a result of not receiving as much sunlight.
Usually served raw, they add a delightful crunch to salads and appetizers. But their versatility extends beyond that - they also make a nutritionally rich and flavorsome addition to stir fries, soups, and stocks, offering a mellow spicy-sweet undertone, while contributing to the dish's overall nutritional profile.
