There are two varieties of celery: the stalk, which is grown commercially to provide the maximum length above the ground, and the round celeriac, which grows in the soil to produce a large bulb with firm white flesh.

Choosing good celery is easy – plump for large, bright-green and crisp sticks. As for celeriac, make your selection based on the firmness and weight of those on offer. Try to avoid any extra-large specimens, as they sometimes have a hollow section inside.
