Fruits & Veggies Monday/Celery in curry cream sauce with pasta 🍄🥝🍅🍓🍆🍒

Hello dear gourmets, this is my post for this Monday: Celery in curry cream sauce with pasta. Thank you very Much to @lenasveganliving and hosted by @plantstoplanks!

The celery (Apium graveolens var. Dulce), also known as perennial and bleaching celery, like her round relative, the celeriac, belongs to the family of the umbelliferae (Apiaceae). The perennial grows about 40 inches high and consists of many fleshy petioles. The leaves look like the celeriac and are slightly pinnate. Parsley, carrot and parsnip belong to the same plant family. The tasty fleshy petioles are bright green to intense green or yellowish depending on the variety. Celery, like celeriac, forms a root bulb, but it grows much smaller.

Celery can be eaten raw and cooked. Because it is particularly crisp, it is well suited as an ingredient in various salads or simply as a snack stick with a dipping sauce. Cooked, its flavor harmonizes especially in vegetable soups, stews or pasta sauces. The leaves can be used as seasoning in soups and sauces.

Because of its high water content, celery is a particularly low-calorie vegetable. It provides vitamins of the B group (including biotin and pantothenic acid) and vitamin A. It contains minerals including. Magnesium, calcium and potassium. Their typical aroma is created by the contained essential oils.
