Celeriac (Apium graveolens var. rapaceum), also called celery root,[1] knob celery,[2] and turnip-rooted celery[3] (although it is not a close relative of the turnip), is a variety of celery cultivated for its edible stem or hypocotyl, and shoots. Celeriac is like a root vegetable except it has a bulbous hypocotyl with many small roots attached.
