Prague Giant Celeriac - Apium graveolens rapaceum - Heirloom - 100 Seeds

Celeriac ¿Giant Prague¿ is a heritage variety from around 1871. It is now considered an heirloom variety and is still perhaps one of the standard cultivars. Globe shaped with a slightly flattened base, it produces fine-grained white flesh with a taste that is reminiscent of the main ingredients in Waldorf salad: celery, apples, and walnuts with a creamier texture, similar to a potato. Many European and Asian kitchens have long appreciated its crispness and flavour. With a little preparation, this extremely useful vegetable moves easily from garden to kitchen, it can be combined with other root vegetables, added to soups or used in place of mashed potatoes and adds a delicate flavour when used raw in salads. Although a close relative of celery, this lesser-known kin is far easier to grow and like most autumn and winter root vegetables, it is a great keeper and will remain in good condition for four to six months in a cellar or refrigerator.
