Did you know?
Celeriac is sometimes referred to as “celery root” because it is a variety of celery grown specifically for its root.
It is believed to have been used by the ancient Egyptians, and its use dates back to at least the 17th century.
Celeriac can be used as a low-carb substitute for potatoes in dishes like mashed “potatoes.”
- Celeriac is often called “the vegetable chameleon” because its flavor can change dramatically depending on how it’s cooked. When raw, it has a crisp, nutty flavor, while cooking it enhances its sweetness and earthiness.
Drawback
- Celeriac contains a small amount of natural sugars, which could affect blood sugar levels for those with sensitivities.
- It has a somewhat fibrous texture, making it harder to peel compared to other root vegetables.
- The flavor may not appeal to everyone, especially those who prefer sweeter vegetables.
