Abstract

Celery (Apium graveolens L. var duke (Mill.) Pers. family Umbelliferae) probably originated in marshlands around the Mediterranean Sea (Ryder 1979). It was first grown for medicinal purposes, most likely because its bitter flavor and odor suggested curative properties (Ryder 1979) and because celery seed contains an opiate (Hart 1977). During the late 1500s to early 1600s, celery began to be cultivated as a food product to add flavor to cooked foods (Ryder 1979; Ware and McCollum 1975).
