How to buy and store celery?

Buy celery, of course, choose fresh. If you buy it in the vegetable market, you can find the kind of leaf stalks with roots attached to their heads, which are tightly tied, and the color is preferably green and clean with a little yellow. Don't buy those with brown spots on their heads or those that look too old and fibrotic. Generally, I don't want to buy sealed plastic bags, which often contain some stains. Many vegetable vendors in the vegetable market will spray some water on the celery head, which looks crisp and watery and is convenient for picking.

The celery bought will wither in the open air within a few days. A better way is to put it in an unsealed plastic bag, or wrap it in a fresh-keeping bag, but stick a few small holes with scissors or toothpicks, so as to keep the water and let the celery breathe. Next, put the celery in the fresh-keeping compartment of the refrigerator, which can keep fresh for a week or even longer. Those seemingly weak stems can be cut off, put in a glass of water, cut down, and put in the refrigerator, and they will gradually return to freshness.

If you need celery leaves, choose those yellowish leaves that are closer to the stem. Dark green leaves are bitter and old. These picked leaves can be filled with water and some ice cubes in a container, put in the leaves and put in the refrigerator for later use. These green leaves taste good when added to vegetable salad.
