Celeriac (Apium graveolens Rapaceum Group, synonyms Apium graveolens Celeriac Group and Apium graveolens var. rapaceum),[1] also called celery root,[2] knob celery,[3] and turnip-rooted celery[4] (although it is not a close relative of the turnip), is a group of cultivars of Apium graveolens cultivated for their edible bulb-like hypocotyl, and shoots.
Celeriac is widely cultivated in the Mediterranean Basin and in Northern Europe.[5][4] It is also but less commonly cultivated in North Africa, Siberia, Southwest Asia, and North America.[5][6] In North America, the 'Diamant' cultivar predominates.
