BEST WAY TO STORE CELERY
1 Place celery, unwashed, in a plastic bag and store it in the refrigerator. Trim the leaves from the stalk, but try to leave the stalk as whole as possible. The more you cut the stalk before using, the quicker it will decay.
2 To keep celery at its crunchiest, store it in a glass container filled with water in the refrigerator. Change the water every three days. It is best to use filtered water. You can lie the celery down in the water if you wish, or if your glass container has a tall shape you can stand the celery in the water on its ends.
3 To freeze celery, trim the leaves from the stalks. Blanch the celery in boiling water for three minutes. Drain and cool it. Place it in freezer bags and put in freezer. Celery can be stored in the freezer for 10 to 12 months.
