The stems are thinner than those of Western celery, and curved into round, hollow stalks. Also, unlike with Western celery, the leaves are used as well as the stalks.[6] It has a stronger taste and smell compared to celery. It is used as a flavoring in soups and sometimes pickled as a side dish.[7]
