This illustration depicts celeriac, a variety of celery where the underground roots swell into a tuberous root resembling a potato. While celery is typically consumed as a leafy vegetable, this celeriac variety is a root vegetable where the enlarged tuberous part is eaten. It is sometimes called “wild celery” because it has been confirmed to grow wild in the Mediterranean basin and parts of Northern Europe.
