December 3rd – Celery

Today’s Kona cotton color of the day is Celery.

According to Wikipedia celery is a marshland plant in the family Apiaceae that has been cultivated as a vegetable since antiquity. Celery has a long fibrous stalk tapering into leaves. Depending on location and cultivar, either its stalks, leaves or hypocotyl are eaten and used in cooking. I like celery. I will eat it just plain or with hummus or peanut butter, I cook with it in soups and stuffing and other recipes, and I also use celery seed in eggs and omelets.

Today’s color is a light, pale yellowy green. It is more like celery hearts than the outer stalks that are a much darker green. It works well with other yellows such as Citrus, Canary, Zucchini, and Wasabi.

You don’t even have to go to the grocery store to get your celery. You can enjoy it HERE for 15 % off today. Let us know what is on your cutting table today.
