Let’s Celebrate Celeriac
Celeriac, also called celery root, knob celery, and turnip-rooted celery is the unsung hero of the vegetable world, it has a subtle celery-like flavour, with nutty overtones. Try it as mash, raw in a salad, in slow-cooked dishes, or take inspiration from our Pinterest board.
Celeriac is packed with antioxidants and is high in potassium and vitamin K.
