    Storing Celery

    I'm not sure where heard or found this technique but I can tell you it really works. In the past, I found my celery would often go bad because I didn't use it fast enough.

    With this method, it will stay crisp and fresh for a month in the refrigerator. Even better it takes only two steps.

    4 pieces of celery with celery leaves on a plate.

    Step by Step Instructions

    Celery, with its top and bottom cut off lays on a large piece of foil.

    Step 1. Cut the top and bottom off the celery. Do not wash it until you use it. Place it on a large piece of foil.

    The celery has been wrapped tightly in foil.

    Step 2. Wrap the celery tightly in foil and store in the vegetable crisper of refrigerator.
