What is sedano?

Sedano is a type of celery commonly found in Mediterranean cuisine. It has a similar appearance to regular celery, but its leaves are less pronounced and its stalks are thicker and more fibrous. Sedano is often used in soups, stews, salads, and as a flavoring in sauces. It is also a good source of vitamin C, vitamin K, potassium, and dietary fiber. In Italian cuisine, sedano is known as "sedano rapa" and is often used in the preparation of minestrone soup. It is also used in Spanish and Latin American cuisine, where it is known as "apio" and commonly used in salads and as a garnish.
