How to store celery
The best way to store celery is in the refrigerator. Here are a few tips for storing celery:
-
Keep it whole: Celery will stay fresh longer if it is not cut. When you are ready to use it, cut off the leaves and then cut or chop it as needed.
-
Wrap it up: Place the whole celery in a plastic bag or wrap it in aluminum foil or paper towel and then place it in a plastic bag to keep it from drying out.
-
Keep it cool: Celery should be stored in the refrigerator at a temperature between 32-40°F (0-4°C)
-
Use it within a week: Whole celery can last up to two weeks in the refrigerator, but it's best to use it within a week to ensure maximum freshness.
-
Celery leaves can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few days.
It's important to note that celery can absorb odors from other foods in the refrigerator, so make sure to store it away from strong-smelling foods. Also, when storing celery make sure it's dry and in a clean, airtight container to prevent contamination.
