A strongly aromatic plant of the carrot family whose stems, leaves and seeds are all used, with a taste close to celery. It was a common vegetable in Roman and medieval European cooking and fell out of use once celery spread. Today it is foraged wild along the English coast.
Consumption tip
Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
