Apium graveolens, Apiaceae

Violet de Tours' is a beautiful, easy-to-grow celery, with magnificent purple-tinted green ribs that are crisp when served raw in salads... It's also a good candidate for cooking, which will reveal its aromatic depth. Like other old-fashioned celery, its strength is far superior to most of today's livid, juicy celery, but it doesn't fall into the very pronounced taste of "cut-leaf" celery. An ideal candidate for Bas-du-Fleuve-style 'herbes salées'. Native to Touraine in France.
