Celery Root Apple Carrot Salad – FAQ

 

What does celeriac taste like?

A little bit of a nutty flavor with a tiny hint of celery tones. Perfect for mixing with other root vegetables like carrots, for instance, or parsnips, turnips, or even jicama.

 

Is celery root good for you?

This interesting looking root vegetable comes in all kinds of different shapes, sizes and comes with its great health benefits such as fiber, magnesium, vitamin B6, C and many more. Knob celery is often served as a substitute for potatoes as it is low in carbohydrates (only 9.2g per 100g).

 

How to store celery root?

This ugly duckling likes to be kept in a cool, dark spot. If you are storing it in the fridge, do not peel the skin and it will last anywhere between 2 to 3 weeks. If you own a home and have a cooler in your basement, you could try building yourself a small root cellar and keep all root veggies there. They will last way longer compared to being stored in your refrigerator.

If you find yourself with one at the end of its shelf life don’t throw it away. You can still use it to make vegetable stock. I hate to waste food.

 

Is this recipe family-friendly?

Yes, it most certainly is. My wife loves it and my young daughter, Miesha loves it too! You can serve this at any occasion, it is easy to make and the ingredients are easy to get. Any major grocery store sells these in the produce section. However, it can be a bit pricey, therefore I would suggest hitting up your local farmers markets where they can be found much cheaper.
