Celery varieties and best uses

The conversions above are the same whatever variety you use; the difference is what each is good for. Here is how the common celery varieties compare.

Variety	Best for
Pascal	Soups, stocks, and mirepoix: the standard dark-green supermarket celery, sturdy and bold.
Celery hearts	Raw eating, dipping, and salads: the pale inner stalks of any bunch, tender and milder.
Golden / Self-blanching	Salads and crudités: blanched pale yellow stalks, mild and crisp.
Chinese celery	Stir-fries and Asian soups: thin hollow stalks with a strong herbal aroma.
Cutting (leaf) celery	Garnish and herb use: grown for fragrant leaves, stalks too thin to chop by the cup.

Which should I pick?

For everyday soups, stocks, and mirepoix, Pascal is the default: the standard dark-green supermarket celery, with sturdy stalks and bold flavour. No Pascal? Celery hearts (the inner pale stalks of any bunch) are more tender and milder, the pick for raw eating, dipping, and salads. Reach for Chinese celery only when a recipe wants its strong, herbal aroma in stir-fries; the stalks are too thin and pungent for Western soups.
