Celery

Product Overview:
Celery is a nutritional powerhouse and a fundamental ingredient in professional kitchens. Sourced from farms that ensure high soil moisture, our celery is harvested to maintain its "turgidity"—the internal pressure that gives it its iconic crunch. Each bunch features thick, juicy ribs that are remarkably low in calories but high in flavor. Whether used as a flavor-builder in a "mirepoix" for soups or enjoyed raw for its hydrating properties, our celery is selected for its lack of "stringiness" and its clean, herbaceous finish.

Key Features:

Extra-Crunchy Ribs: Selected for their firm, rigid structure that delivers a refreshing snap in every bite.

Mildly Salty & Earthy: A natural source of organic sodium, providing a sophisticated flavor profile that enhances soups, salads, and juices.

SQA Monitored Selection: Every bunch is hand-inspected to ensure the stalks are tightly bunched, the leaves are bright green (not yellow), and the base is firm and hydrated (SQA Checked).

Hydration Hero: Composed of approximately 95% water, making it a perfect natural way to stay hydrated throughout the day.

Storage Instructions:
To keep celery crisp for up to 2–3 weeks, store it in the refrigerator. Pro Tip: Wrap the stalks tightly in aluminum foil before placing them in the crisper drawer; this allows the ripening gases to escape while keeping the moisture in, preventing it from becoming limp.
