Receta Ham and Potato Soup
Over
time, many different types of plants across the world have been referred to by
the common name "wild celery." Most of these plants, although not all
of them, belong to the same family (Apiaceae/Umbellerifereae)
as the Pascal celery found in United States markets. You'll find Australian
celery, Vietnamese celery, Indian celery, Maori celery, and water celery all
being referred to as "wild celery" in various cultures.
The
direct ancestors of Pascal celery were cultivated in parts of Europe and the Mediterranean
as early as 1000 BC, and we have evidence of celery being used as a medicinal
plant in ancient Egypt. There's also evidence that ancient Greek athletes were
awarded celery leaves to commemorate their winning.
Today,
over 1 billion pounds of celery are produced each year in the United States,
with California, Michigan and Florida accounting for about 80% of all celery
production. The average U.S. adult eats about 6 pounds of celery per year. A
substantial amount of celery in the U.S. comes from Mexico, and the United
States exports about 200 million pounds of celery to Canada each year.
On
a worldwide basis, celery is often served as a "major plate
vegetable" rather than an additive to salads or soups. In addition, root
celery varieties of this food chosen for their large root balls rather than
their stalks are often cultivated over the large stalk Pascal varieties that
have become most popular in the U.S.
