Guest guest Posted January 27, 2001 Report Share Posted January 27, 2001 Celery Root will keep 3-4 weeks in refrigerator, so when you find them, buy extras. It freezes well. Wash, peel and cut into discs or cubes. Water blanch for four minutes, plunge into ice water, drain, pack in freezer bags, label and freeze. ----- Original Message ----- > I just ordered celery root at the commissary here at Monthan...but > the only way I can get it is if I get the whole case... does anyone know > if it can be frozen or how long it will stay fresh? or is someone near > here wanting some???? there are 20 or so " bunches " in the case...for > 11.00 which doesn't sound too bad... but what the heck will I do with it > all???????

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2001 Report Share Posted January 28, 2001 Yup tried that one too no luck Re: celery root As mentioned before, the store would probably label it as celeriac. RE: celery root Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 28, 2001 Report Share Posted January 28, 2001 Yes, you have to peel it. I peel and cut it as french fries. They are delicious! Only a little bit sweeter than potatoes.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2001 Report Share Posted February 27, 2001 Glo, I'd do what JJ said... I may even go ahead and cook it up and mash it then freeze it... or cut into cubes... One thing, I don't know if you've had it before, it's very good but also VERY rich... I can't eat nearly as much of it as I could mashed potatoes!
