Something you can make with sliced celery
Origin
Celery is believed to have originated in the Mediterranean region, specifically in the area now known as Italy and Greece. It has been cultivated for thousands of years and was highly valued by ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. The wild ancestor of celery, known as wild celery or smallage, grew along the Mediterranean coast and was used for medicinal and culinary purposes. Over time, celery was domesticated and bred for its crisp stalks and mild flavor. Today, celery is grown in many parts of the world, including Europe, North America, and Asia. It is a popular ingredient in various cuisines and is commonly used in salads, soups, and stir-fries.
