A specialist's microgreen, a botanical relative of the carrot, with a slow germination profile and long cycle — but a refined result. As a microgreen, you get fine, thread-like green stems topped by small lance-shaped cotyledons, with an airy silhouette.

Flavour: concentrated celery — sharp, herbaceous, with a marked umami note and an almost saline finish that you find in mature celery — astonishingly powerful for such a small shoot. Delicate texture, crunchy in the mouth. Precision gastronomic use: decoration on tartare or ceviche, garnish on cream of celeriac soup (mother-child visual effect), Bloody Mary garnish in place of the traditional celery stick, on smoked salmon, or as an aromatic finish on a risotto.

Important note: like carrot, celery is NOT recommended for jar sprouting — seeds too slow, mould risk — reserve for tray culture on potting mix.

• Soak: not required.
• Germination time: 14 to 21 days (slow).
• Microgreen harvest: 21 to 28 days after sowing (one of the longest cycles).
• Yield: about 2 teaspoons of seeds produces a 20 × 20 cm tray of microgreens.
• Best use: gastronomic decoration, Bloody Mary, soups, refined dishes.
