I’ve never seen one in a UK supermarket before, but apparently the root is edible!
Its actually called celeriac. I tried it raw as it was the first taste and I can see how it would go nicely in salads or coleslaw!
I was chucking these in the compost last year so it’s good to know I can actually eat them too! 😋

My sweet summer child. Celery root and celeriac are two different things. There’s no celeriac at the root of normal old celery it’s like the difference between leafing fennel and bulbing fennel u have to grow the varieties with the bulbs to be able to harvest the bulbs.
Fairly common root vegetable in Norway. In my experience much more used than actual celery. Other used in soups with other root veggies. It has a lot of flavor
What i need to try this idk if you ever ate Jerusalem artichokes but thats how I described them to the t they are soo good and also eating food out the dirt is so much better tasting than sprayed to bits with chemicals
Are you telling me that celeriac and celery are from the same plant🤯🤯, I am 29 and I just learned this, in Lebanon we cook celeriac in soup along potatoes, lemon..
You remind me of Amanda Bynes in all the best ways 😂
i don’t usually comment but i just wanted to say i absolutely adore your hair and i love the small braids you’ve done at the front, you’re so beautiful ☺️
Here we boil or bake it until soft and then slice it up and dip it in mayonnaise as an appetizer for the holidays
Celery root is a very commonly used ingredient in Türkiye. There are many variations of it, from cold appetizers to hot dishes. I recommend you find and try the orange-flavored celery recipe.
Subscribed 😂❤
😂 🥕
One of the best meals I ever had was a Michelin star restaurant and the vegetarian option was a slow braised then roasted celeriac steak with a truffle sauce. Love celeriac
You MUST roast it! 😊 yum!
Celeriac and celery are from the same species, but different varieties: the first one is cultivated to eat the root, the other for the stems. You usually won't eat the roots of the stem variety, and they don't sell them, but they sell celeriac and I think it's pretty common, at least where I live.
Celeriac is its own cultivar bred specifically to have a big bulb rather than lots of celery up top, just so you know
If you want to pull things out easily water the ground first.
In Switzerland we also have root Celery and Stalk Celery
In Romania you would only find the root up until a few years ago
It’s absolutely DELICIOUS if you roast or fry it with some garlic and salt ❤ nom nom nom
As others said before celeriac is more common in Germany than celery.
So have in mind there are three different typs of celery.
Celery: varietys which grow the big stems
Celeriac: grows a big root and the stems are not as big and have a lot more unedible fibre
Leaf Celery: grows more like parsley.
For flavor you can use all parts of all plants.
But stems and roots taste quite different.
Celery cream soup ❤
Celeriac is a huge bulbous root and is grown from slightly different seed for it's root size over stalk size. Celery is grown for stalk size and less root. I love celeriac ever since i first tried it, it makes a nice alternative to mash and also good chips.
I like the soup made from it
In the Dominican Republic they make mashed celery roots. It's actually really good but I've never done it myself yet.
How long do potatoes and strawberries take to grow
Should’ve used the stone wall for leverage.
I always thought celeriac and celery were 2 different plants 😅
Finally a channel that carries my interests!!
I’ve eaten celeriac multiple times and thought “reminds me a bit of celery” but I had no idea it WAS celery lol. I’m not too bright
Mindblowing how this is something not a lot of people eat… Here in Belgium it’s quite common
As im eating celery😊
I’m in the Midwest of the US and I have never heard of this!
Celeriac is sold in most UK super markets, I buy mine in Asda
in turkey we generally eat the root part. Most people do not know strems part also adeble because while the root growing strems getting rotten. Celery more expensive than its root and rare.
Bread it like a schnitzel its very good
I've always seen it as a puree.
Celeriac is really good if you slice it, batter it up, and fry / air fry it! It makes a tasty vegan fish and chips. 🐟🍟
It’s like dog breeds: a Great Dane and a Chihuahua are the same species, but they’re bred for different traits. For celeriac, you need the root-heavy genetics (apium graveolens var. rapaceum) or you'll just end up with a lot of leaves and the tiny bulb you just got.
Yeah, In Slovenia, you can buy the celery root in a pack with some other vegetables for soup. It’s very well known! Yes, you can eat it raw but people almost never do that, they boil it in some soup instead. But the struggle to take the root out is hilarious😭
You get it in Waitrose and Morrisons in the uk
Celeriac soup is really nice!
Hello, I’ve seen people roast it with poultry and other veg. I’ve also seen people cook it and mash it with some mashed sunchokes
in my country its a universal soup ingredient
Hello just come across this video and I really love both celery and celeriac.
Celeriac is a great root veg that I think it has an aniseed flavour. Great to eat raw or cooked and mashed with butter and whole grain mustard.
Celeriac and celery are two different plants, when growing celeriac slowly keep pulling the outer leaf stalks off the bulbous root as it grows and you will end up with a good size root.
Just beware they are prone to cabbage root fly so causes them to rot. To prevent this plant your young plants with a cabbage root fly disc. They look like round discs of weed membrane but are impregnated with copper and so stops the root fly laying her eggs. 👍
celeriac isnt the same as the root of celery thats grown for its stalks.
OMG you look so cute with braids
I even did a shepherd pie with it instead potatoes. I just love it baked or cooked but not much raw. In Poland it's also in every store. And also basic root veggie for soups with carrot, parsley root and leek 😁
in my religion, chewing on dried celery root is something a lot of people do before sweat lodge (idk what it’s called but it comes from native americans)
