Celery Root

This ugly thing, also known as celeriac, was selected as part of an Aidells recipe. Not only is it ugly, but it's tough.



Cutting through the "celery" end was tough just as cutting through the root end was. Trimming the outer skin, more husk-like than skin, from this root was also tough.

Be sure to trim this joker toward excessively trimmed than not enough. I can tell you that if you don't you will notice the straw-like fiber.

If you hate celery, you should be relieved that only a trace of celery flavor will be present in eating this unless maybe you eat it raw. And the root itself if properly trimmed doesn't have that crazy fibrous quality. IF it's trimmed well. If trimmed well, you wouldn't even know it's a celery root as it easily takes on other flavors.

 

Please make it a point to trim to excess.

 

Available at Grower's Direct for $1.59/root.
