Granted, celeriac / root celery is not the prettiest vegetable in the produce aisle - but celeriac / celery root is beautiful on the inside!

Tips on how to Treat It:

1) Shop for firm, unblemished roots that feel heavy for their size, with a greenish blush.

2) Store in the fridge, unpeeled, in an unsealed plastic bag, with a dry paper towel to absorb excess moisture, for up to 3 weeks.

3) Scrub celery roots well, then trim the top and bottom with a sharp knife. Peel skin with a vegetable peeler, then use knife to trim any recessed or pocked parts of the root.

All the best Jan
