Keeping Celery Fresh

Have you ever bought a bunch of celery at the store

just to find that it is all bendy and soft after just a day or two?

Who wants to eat bendy celery?

I for one prefer mine crisp!

Here is a tip to help yours stay fresh & crisp in your fridge for up to 3 weeks!

Start by cutting off the end and separating all the stalks, throwing away any parts you don't want

Next, wash it under cold water real good using your fingers to scrape off any junk

Lay it on a paper towel and roll it up

Then dampen the roll with cold water

Next, lay your damp celery roll on a sheet of foil

Give it a good roll again until it is nice and tight, like a homemade burrito!

Seal the ends closed and you are done!

Now label and stick in your crisper drawer and enjoy at your leisure!

What do you like to do with your celery?  

Eat it raw with a yummy dip?
