    • freezing guide:
    • Clean the celery: Wash the sticks thoroughly under tap water. Make sure you separate the stalks and clean so that all the dirt is removed properly.
    • Blanch the celery: Most people skip this step as they intend to use celery in a couple of months. But you can absolutely blanch the stalks to keep them for longer. Just make sure to pat the celery dry after you blanch it.
    • Freeze for a brief time: Spread the stalks on a baking sheet and freeze for a couple of hours.
    • Pack and store: Now remove the stalks and add them to a zip lock bag or a vacuum seal pouch and store in a freezer. You can also stick a label with the dateon which you store the celery to ensure that you do not use it after a long time.

Culinary Tips
