How To Freeze Celery
How To Freeze Celery
Celery is one of those vegetables you need to add amazing flavor to so many soups and dishes, however, I don’t normally buy celery every week. Just when I’m excited to create a new recipe and I need celery, those are the times I don’t have it. Well, I decided to buy an extra package of celery a few weeks ago, chop it up, and store it in the freezer for those times when I need it!

Most vegetables need to be blanched prior to freezing, the vegetable will continue to mature, develop off-flavors, discolor or toughen if not blanched. Nutrition loss is minimal and micro-organisms are reduced. Onions, peppers,tomatoes, garlic, herbs and a few others don’t need to be blanched. Check a freezing food site/ books for blanching times and proper freezing technics. I’ve been canning and freezing for over forty years and found out the hard way when I tried shortcuts. Not worth the time and loss!
I understand that, but for celery it’s not necessary. I’ve been doing this for 5+ years with no problems. Thank you for your input 🙂
Do I need to peel the strings off of the celery first before chopping & flash freezing?
It’s not necessary when freezing the celery because frozen celery is really only good in stir-frys or soups.
Can you use frozen celery for salads?
No, it will just be mushy.
