Celeriac

Celeriac

Celeriac is in season from March to December

Celeriac is a variety of celery which forms an enlarged, solid, edible tuber just below the soil’s surface.  The tuber is brownish white in colour and has a gnarled appearance. The leaves and thin stalks are similar to celery, although are slightly darker in colour. Celeriac tastes like a mild form of celery and parsley combined and, when cooked, has the consistency of carrots and other similar vegetables. It is ripe for the market basket in Australia between March and December and can be stored in the crisper of the refrigerator for up to a month, but it's best not to wash it before storage.
