But she insists that apio is NOT celery, although she doesn't know the English word for it. The dictionary says celery. And everyone I asked about apio told me something different, depending on which latin country they come from. Cubans and Puerto Ricans tended to say celery, not celery root. Maybe it is just a misnomer in the dictionary? But it appears that celery root (CELERIAC) is this mysterious APIO. If you look up the scientific classification of celeriac you will note why in Spanish it is called apio = Kingdom, plant; Order, apiales; Family, apiaceae; Genus, apium. Too bad the english name for apio has the celery word in it because although celery soup is also excellent, it is very different. My mother is from Venezuela. She pines for this apio soup too.
