CELERIAC - 30 SEEDS

The unsung hero of the vegetable world, knobbly, odd-shaped celeriac has a subtle, celery-like flavour, with nutty overtones. Try it as mash, in big-flavoured, slow-cook dishes, or in its classic form, and as they do in France, as a remoulade.

How to prepare celeriac
Using a sharp knife, top and tail the celeriac, then use a potato peeler to remove the  skin. 

How to cook celeriac

Boils in 20 mins, roasts in around 40 mins when cut into rough-shaped chunks.

Recipe suggestions

Celeriac soup is a great winter staple, or try celeriac oven chips for a healthier twist. This root veg works well in creamy dishes, and with cheese try a celeriac bake with parmesan crumbs for your next roast dinner, or keep things simple with a twist on mash potatoes. Classic remoulade is traditionally served with cold cuts of meat and crusty bread.

How to store celeriac
In the salad drawer of your fridge. Celeriac discolours quickly once peeled or chopped, so immerse in a bowl of water, after chopping to size, with a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of white wine vinegar added (also known as acidulated water).
