Non-GMO Nan Ling Cutting Celery is an Asian celery variety that has a sweet and delicate flavor. Cutting Celery is the familiar flavor in many Chinese dishes. Known for its smaller size, leaf celery is used for its stalk and leaves. Kintsai, as it's often called, can be used for microgreens after 30 days or be fully developed 60-90 days.
Nan Ling Cutting Celery grows 12-18" high in about 60-90 days. Stalks are thinner than Western celery and hollow on the inside. The cutting celery will produce more branches that contain more leaves. When this celery is allowed to grow flowers, they will be white. Celery thrives in full sun and moist soil.
Nan Ling Cutting Celery gives a stronger and more authentic flavor to Asian and Chinese dishes. Delicious in stir-fries, soups, and salads, Chinese celery has a robust celery flavor. Less crunchy than celery in American grocery stores, this variety melts into foods. The foliage is used as a tender herb.
Celery is high in fiber and low in calories. This makes it a great diet snack. It makes you feel full due to the fiber content. Fiber also aids in digestion.
