Celeriac Planting and Care

How to prepare
To prepare celeriac, peel and cut into slices or chunks. Alternatively, grate the peeled root for use in salads or stir fries. The stalk and the leaves are not used as they are bitter and stringy. Celeriac discolours quickly, so after chopping to size, immerse in a bowl of water with a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of white wine vinegar added.

Ways to eat
Celeriac can be used either raw or lightly cooked in salads. Cook until soft and tender either by microwaving, boiling, steaming or stir-frying. Celeriac is often mashed and served as is or mashed with other root vegetables. It can also be sliced into batons and fried, or sliced into wedges, brushed with olive oil and baked in the oven.
