Description/Taste
Celery root AKA celeriac, is indeed a celery variety grown for its underground tuber versus its green leafy stalks. Celeriac's roughly globular swollen root is often muddied, gnarled and full of wild offshoot stubbles. Underneath the root's burly exterior is a crisp, apple-like textured bright white flesh The firm juicy flesh has a mild herbaceous quality with obvious celery-like undertones.
Applications
