I don't know if I would call it spicy, been a long time since I had just celery though. But I am really sensitive to the taste of it.
Even if you chop it up small and cook it into something, for me it ruins a meal and gives it this horrible aftertaste. Probably best described as puke, that kinda acidic taste
I'm seconding what that other person said. You might have oral allergy syndrome.
Fun fact; that's how I found out I have oral allergy syndrome. I asked a friend how so many people can ignore the way bananas burn like that and apparently, they don't.
Celery is like the opposite of acid or burning or spice. It's green and water.
My sole reason for wanting to try rhubarb pie is because of people who've had rhubarb saying how sour it is. I fucking love sour stuff, and celery. So hells yeah I want some rhubarb. I never see it around here though š¬
Its the leaves that have a lot of oxalic acid, the stems are edible raw, just utterly unpalateable. Although if you have a miracle berry first it is apparently delicious - https://youtu.be/hgvRoCY0hNA?t=10m26s
You mentioning eating the stems raw made me think of it and instantly increased my saliva production. It's not easily palatable, it's intense, you're right, but man is it good. I grew up on that stuff. Cracking that raw stem and munching it while doing gardening is a stimmy miracle
Raw celery is 95% water, 3% carbohydrates, 0.7% protein, and contains negligible fat (table). A 100-gram (3+1ā2-ounce) reference serving provides 16 calories of food energy, and is a rich source of vitamin K, providing 28% of the Daily Value, with no other micronutrients in significant content (table).
I "peel" celery like how I peel a potato. So basically peel off the stringy part. Then I cut them diagonally or at a 45Ā° angle. I then stir fry them with carrots and string peas and baby corn and shallots with some garlic and salt.
The smell of raw celery makes me nauseous, especially when cut. Cooked in things I find the texture off-putting and tasteless, compounding the unwanted crunch added to something that shouldn't crunch.
Thereās undercooked, but also perfectly crunchy when cooked right. Matter of opinion, I like my broc with a nice crunch. But also eat raw broccoli, so
cut celery into large chunks, put some olive oil, pop it into the oven and take it back when it starts to char and soft. mix it with mushroom saute (and stir fried beef if not vegetarian)

Put peanut butter in the crack and then it becomes a delicious snack.

You may be allergic to it, because celery has zero spice.

This is only true of the celery you find in grocery stores.
Grow some in your garden, youāre in for a world of flavor you never knew existed

Same shit people say about cucumbers and they all taste like bland ass. Literally worse than iced tap water.

Growing your own celery is a game changer. Most produce we get in the store is hopelessly bland.
enbyecho@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y
Celery loses most of it's flavor quickly after harvest. When it's actually fresh it's extremely tasty.

Cooked celery is not supposed to be crunchy. Grandma's recipe is cursed. I bet her broccoli is crunchy too, that's why it gets a bad rep.

Broccoli should be slightly crunchy. Overcooked broc is gross
