“If farmers knew the value of celery, they would fill the whole garden with it,” says an ancient proverb.
In fact, this vegetable was once rumoured to offer a thousand properties, but it was particularly appreciated for its intense aroma, which gave it the scientific name of graveolens, meaning “strong smelling”. Celery is a Mediterranean vegetable that has been known since the time of the ancient Egyptians, and is actually mentioned in Homer’s Odyssey. Selinunte, an ancient Greek city on the south-western coast of Sicily, owes its name to the wild celery growing on the surrounding plain, and its coins even bore an image of the vegetable.
