celery
Celery is treated as an uncountable mass noun when referring to the vegetable as a food item or ingredient. Because it is uncountable, you cannot say "three celeries" to describe the stalks; instead, you must use a partitive counter such as "stalks of celery" or "heads of celery" to specify quantity.
In culinary contexts, the word evokes a sense of crispness and neutrality, often serving as a foundational aromatic element in stocks and soups. It is rarely used in a figurative sense, remaining strictly tied to its botanical and gastronomic identity.
