Naked as the day it was picked! |
The flavor is...mostly just bitter. There isn't a huge amount of unique flavor to celery, which is probably why it finds its way into many recipes as a mitigating agent and for a touch of "green" to an otherwise starch and protein heavy meal. It's got a tremendous amount of crunch in the bite, and will keep you chewing for a long while. But of course, we here at Kotas Reviews can do better...

Because of its U-shaped channel rib, sticky things have a convenient area for glopping into, and it is portable! Sturdy enough for dunking into even the gooiest of sauces and dips, celery brings to your mouth many delights...and a few horrors. Let's just say that salsa is not necessarily a good candidate here. My preferred treat is of course, ranch dressing, but ranch dressing makes almost anything non-sweet taste good.
On the FACE Rating System, celery gets a surprising 1 smiley face. I'm not thrilled with it on its own, but it's cheap, reasonably nutritious, and has a lot of culinary uses. It also lets me eat peanut butter and ranch dressing right from the container, and that means its a winner.
