A few years ago I tried freezing chopped celery and it was a great success. Here's how I do it -
* Top and tail all the stalks.
* Wash off any dirt.
* Finely dice each stalk. I use my Nicer Dicer for fast dicing.
* Grab one handful and place in a freezer bag.
* Squeeze out the air and tie a knot in the top of the bag.
* Place in the freezer.
NOTES
* The celery will defrost limp and soggy.
* Frozen celery can be added to any casserole, soup or stew.
* A large ice cube tray can be used to freeze celery in smaller amounts.

I put my celery in two layers of alfoil and it seems to last at least 2 weeks
ReplyDeleteHello Wendy,
ReplyDeleteI have celery growing like weeds growing in the veggie garden, so this I can do! I will pull out the large plants (to make room for other veggies I like) and chop for the freezer. Celery is not a favourite plant of mine, and of course it grows very well here for that reason haha!
Have a great rest of the week!

ReplyDeleteIf there soup bundles i also add the leaves very finely shredded and i hydrate the leaves to make celery salt. You can also put frozen celery into juices and smoothies. Have a great week leanne
Did you know that you can also eat the leaves of the celery plant and they go great in soups/stews/stir fires
ReplyDeleteI freeze celery as well. I chop it up and put it in ziplock bags but flatten it down. That way i can stack them in the freezer and if I don’t want the entire bag I can just break off the amount I need.
