I have way too much celery, what is the best way to store it? Can it be frozen? Does frozen celery cook well?

Answer 1

This is the best way to help you to storing your celery......;-)

Wrap celery in several layers of damp paper towels and store it in the crisper section of the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Keep celery away from the coldest parts of the refrigerator-the back and side walls-because it freezes easily and then becomes limp and unusable.

Answer 2

Wrapping the celery in aluminum foil will extend the shelf life a little longer. Make sure it's completely covered. I think I managed to keep a bunch for almost three weeks and still had some crispness left. Since we just had the holidays, one idea is to make soup or even bread stuffing and freeze your leftovers. Sometimes if I only need a little celery, particularly pieces and not whole stalks, I buy some from the salad bar at my grocery store.

Answer 3

#1 you can't freeze celery, because it turns into mush. The best way to store it is in a plastic bag in the crisper of the fridge. You could also make a celery soup, stuffed celery with cream cheese and olives

Answer 4

If it is chopped, it should freeze well. You can buy a frozen mixture od celery, onion and green pepper. I have made this from my garden in the past and it worked well in the freezer.

Answer 5

you can cut the bottom off and put it in a glass of water in the fridge. This keeps it filled with water for a while so it won't wilt. You might want to make celery soup or something....

Answer 6

Yes you can freeze celery. I always chop it up and store in air tight baggie. It is good for using in soups and other recipes.

Answer 7

No, celery won't last if you freeze it. It's made up of mostly water so it will freeze through and damage the fibers.

Answer 8

yes u can freeze it it will still have all the nutrients in it when u cook it
