Does anyone know how I can use celery leaves and how I can store the leaves?

Answer 1

I use them in all the ways others have mentioned but no one mentioned that they freeze and also dry well-the appearance is not the same but all the flavor is there-the only thing fresh is best for is salads.

Answer 2

I use the leaves in my stuffing and especially in my chicken soup , but to keep the leaves fresh i buy my celery about the same day or maybe the day before i plan on using it. This way i know it is fresh . But you can try wrapping it loosely in paper towel and putting it in a clear plastic bag and try and get all the air out when you close it , but still use it rather fast due to browning of the leaves and not really knowing how long it may have been sitting on the grocery store produce shelf.
