I have potted and re-grown grocery store celery. I don't know what kind of celery it is. Suggestions for which type I should pick in the plant database?

thanks!

Green Grin! I have celery growing in water in my kitchen window right now ... just for the fun of it! I think Wild Celery (Apium graveolens) is the common celery sold in grocery stores.

Store bought celery is Apium graveolens var. dulce, mainly eating its thick leafy stalk because its mild flavor strong stems so often can be eaten raw or cooked.

In Asian supermarkets they sell leafy celery (Chinese celery), which is Apium graveolens var. secalinum, strong aroma, thinner stalks, mainly used as flovoring herb with stalks and leafs, it can be cut to fine pieces and use re-sealable bag storing in freezer.

There is one another common seen celery only sold turnip like roots in supermarket, it is Celeriac/turnip-rooted celery (Apium graveolens var. rapaceum). Mainly use its fleshy root. Its stalks and leaves with strong aroma so often use as garnish.
