Recipe suggestions

Celeriac soup is a great winter staple, or try celeriac oven chips for a healthier twist. This root veg works well in creamy dishes, and with cheese try a celeriac bake with parmesan crumbs for your next roast dinner, or keep things simple with a twist on mash potatoes. Classic remoulade is traditionally served with cold cuts of meat and crusty bread.

How to store celeriac

In the salad drawer of your fridge. Celeriac discolours quickly once peeled or chopped, so immerse in a bowl of water, after chopping to size, with a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of white wine vinegar added

Celeriac flowers are edible and can be used as a garnish or added to salads and other dishes for flavor and texture.             

Rich in antioxidants and nutrients, it offers impressive health benefits, such as improved digestion, bone and heart health, as well as possible anticancer effects. You can enjoy celeriac raw or cooked as a healthier, lower-carb alternative to potatoes and other root vegetables.
