Market Look-For’s

• Bulbs should be firm when squeezed
• Disregard their green shoulders and knobby, dirty outside, you’ll cut it all off anyway.
• Watch out for any deep worm marks, will cause your celery root to not store as well.

Storage

• Store roots in a paper bag in a plastic bag in the fridge or cellar. Plastic keeps moisture in; paper shields light and wicks excess moisture away to prevent mold. Also does well in a root cellar or garage.
• Should store for months on end.

Notes

• Celery root (celeriac) is the version of celery that has been bred to have a big root bundle and spindly tops (like beets to chard).
• Will have less astringency than stalk celery
• Will oxidize quickly after being cut. Store in acidulated water to keep bright white.
• Eat raw, roasted or baked
