Traditionally grown celery is not common; it is a very labour intensive process to grow it. Regular celery is typically self-blanching; that is, it doesn't require the stems to be covered to promote the blanching (turning white), whereas traditionally grown celery, typically grown in the Fens in their black, rich soil, require the earth to be drawn up around the stems to blanch them. Also, the frosts that help promote such a good flavour in the vegetable can also ultimately destroy crops.
Celery cannot only be eaten raw; it adds flavour to sauces, and will also absorb flavour of whatever it is cooked with.
