Celeriac

Celeriac, also called celery root, is a knobby root vegetable grown specifically for its large underground stem. Although its appearance is rough and irregular, the interior is creamy white with a crisp texture and a flavor reminiscent of celery combined with parsley and mild nuttiness.

Celeriac is especially versatile because it can be eaten raw or cooked. It works well as a substitute for potatoes or other root vegetables and adds celery-like flavor without requiring celery stalks.

Choose celeriac that feels heavy and firm for its size. Smaller roots tend to have a more tender texture. Avoid roots with extensive soft spots or deep damage.
