Stalk celery of the Crunch variety is a mid-season vegetable with an upright and compact rosette of leaves, reaching a height of about 40-45 cm and a diameter of 25-30 cm. The leaves and stalks are dark green, juicy, and aromatic. The yield of the variety is 2.9-3.2 kg per square meter, which makes it attractive to gardeners and horticulturists due to its high productivity and ease of growing.
This variety of celery is valued for its cold hardiness and rich vitamin composition, including B and C vitamins, carotene, as well as trace elements and essential oils. Thanks to these properties, Crunch is not only used in cooking for preparing fresh, boiled, canned, and dried dishes, but is also applied as a medicinal and tonic agent. To improve the quality of the stalks, it is recommended to wrap them in thick paper two weeks before harvesting, which promotes whitening and enhances taste qualities.
Crunch celery seeds are suitable for growing stalk celery, which matures in an average of 75-80 days from germination to the first harvest. This early-maturing variety is excellent for diverse uses in cooking and possesses additional medical properties, making it a versatile and useful vegetable for home and professional cultivation.
