Celery Root

Store unpeeled in the crisper drawer. Trimmed and peeled celery root can also be stored submerged in water in the fridge for up to 3 days.

To prepare, trim off the root end and any fine root hairs. Then, use a sharp knife or vegetable peeler to remove the tough outer skin.

It can be eaten raw in slaws or salads, or cooked by roasting, mashing, or pureeing.

Its mild flavor makes it a great addition to soups and stews where it can add body and a subtle vegetal note.

Not fully peeling the tough outer skin, which can be fibrous and unpleasant to eat.

Overcooking, which can result in a mushy texture and loss of its subtle flavor.
