Celeriac (Apium graveolens var. rapaceum)
Root vegetable suitable for conservation, ideal for remoulade and tasty fries. For optimal results, plant in fertile soil and water regularly. Its germination is slow. Unlike celery stalks, celeriac is characterized by a large root and minimal foliage. Belonging to the Apiaceae family (umbellifers), its white and fleshy root can sometimes weigh up to a kilo.
For optimal growth, choose a light, fresh, deep, and humus-rich soil. A sunny exposure is recommended.
