Everybody like Jell-O, then? There's no doubt that several quite unusual flavours have been unveiled over the years; this mouthwatering food item is still sellable. But during the 1960s, people were ravenous for Jell-O with a celery flavour. Although it wasn't as well-liked as other flavours available, this one was ideal for families looking to offer a better sweet substitute for their meals. That is thus the reason it is regarded to be so rare. Jell-O with celery flavour first debuted in the 1960s following a larger trend of savoury gelatine cuisine experimentation. This age was fascinated with moulded salads and aspic, in which gelatine suspended vegetables, meats, even fish. From desserts to side dishes for main courses, Celery Jell-O was sold as a flexible product fit for both sweet and savoury uses. Though first unique, celery-flavored Jell-O did not hold the same appeal over time as its fruitier cousins. Food historians and antique collectors have sought-after it because of its limited production run and distinctive taste character. It could be time to go behind your pantry as, should you discover a packet of Jell-O flavoured with celery, you could profit at least $50. Not horrible, buddy. If the package is unopened and in good shape, the value might rise noticeably; some rare instances sell considerably more at auction or among committed collectors of antique food products.
