Cutting Celery Amsterdamse donkergroene

Cutting celery Amsterdamse Donkergroene is a traditional variety. Unlike celeriac or stalk celery, this variety is not grown for thick stalks or bulbs, but primarily for its aromatic leaves. The variety is known for its strong fragrance and pronounced flavour, which makes it widely used in the kitchen. Characteristic of cutting celery Amsterdamse Donkergroene are its intensely dark green leaves and stems. The leaves are finer than those of many other cutting celery varieties, and the plant has a relatively compact growth habit. Thanks to this combination of fine structure and deep leaf color, the plant not only appears vigorous but also provides a concentrated aroma. Compared to regular cutting celery, cutting celery Amsterdamse Donkergroene generally has finer leaves and stems and a more intense flavor. This makes the variety particularly suitable for dishes in which a distinct celery taste is desired.

Use cutting celery Amsterdamse Donkergroene as a seasoning in soups, sauces, broths, stews, oven dishes, and dishes with cheese and egg. The leaves can also be used as a leafy vegetable in various dishes. To preserve its rich and powerful flavor, it is recommended to add the celery only at the end of the cooking process. When harvesting, it is important not to cut the leaves too short. By leaving a small stub, the plant can regrow, allowing for multiple harvests. Non hardy annual.
