How to store celeriac?

• Celery stalks are often eaten fresh and chopped with various dips . However, once cooked, it goes well with many dishes.
• At the store, look for firm stalked celery with even stems and leaves that look fresh. At home, wash it well and dry it.
• It often lasts for several weeks , but we recommend using it within two.
• Store it in the fridge and leave the stems attached to the base until you need them.
• If you don’t plan to use it right away, freeze it.
• You can rinse and chop raw celeriac, then put it in the freezer on a baking sheet for a few hours and then transfer it to bags.
• It will last several months in the freezer.
• Alternatively, blanch it, drain thoroughly and freeze for up to 6 months .
