Celeriac

Celeriac, also known as celery root, is a robust and rewarding vegetable that brings both flavour and texture to your kitchen. Its large, knobby root has a distinctively earthy taste, with subtle hints of celery, making it a unique addition to a variety of dishes. As it matures, the swollen bulb develops just above the soil, requiring minimal care beyond the occasional removal of small side roots to encourage proper growth. Thriving in cooler months, celeriac grows best in rich, well-drained soil and appreciates consistent moisture for optimal flavour and size. Not only is it hardy and easy to cultivate, but it also stores exceptionally well after harvest, offering a reliable supply through the colder seasons.

Its rustic appearance may not suggest elegance, yet once peeled and prepared, celeriac becomes a versatile kitchen staple, equally delicious raw or cooked. Whether shredded into salads, puréed into soups, or roasted alongside meats, its subtle, savoury taste complements countless recipes. For gardeners seeking something different, celeriac adds variety, nutrition, and flavour to any home-grown harvest.
