It's tempting to buy the big bag of celery at Costco but you'll seldom use it all by the time it starts to fade. If you wrap the celery in a plastic bag and then wrap that bag in aluminum foil you can get a much longer refrigerated shelf life.
Choose small, firm celeriac that is heavy for its size. Avoid those with soft spots and a lot of rootlets. Refrigerate whole celeriac in a plastic bag for up to a week. Before using celery root, peel and soak it briefly in water with a little vinegar or lemon juice to prevent cut surfaces from darkening. Although cooked celery root is excellent in soups, stew, and other hot dishes, it can also be enjoyed raw, especially grated and tossed in salads. Raw celery root has an intense flavor that tends to dominate salads, so pair it with other strongly flavored fruits and vegetables, such as carrots, beets, and apples.
