About Celery root

Celery root, also called celeriac, is a swollen, knobbly root vegetable from a celery cultivar grown for its root rather than its stalks. Its rough, tan exterior is usually trimmed away to reveal dense, ivory-coloured flesh; it is sold whole or peeled and cut.

The flesh is firm and has a mild, earthy flavour with celery-like notes. It can be eaten raw, often grated or thinly sliced, and is also boiled, roasted or mashed. Peeled and cooked forms differ from the whole raw root in both moisture and edible yield.
