Celery Storage Hacks, Make the most of it!

Chop the celery stalks from the base and remove the leaves. Fresh, rigid stalks work best for long-lasting crunch. Place the cut celery in a glass bowl or sealed container, leaving a little space at the top. Fill it with clean, filtered water until the celery is submerged. Seal the container with a lid or plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge. Change the water every day or two to keep things fresh. If you’re short on space, stand the celery bunch in a tall glass of water in the fridge. Just remember to avoid the coldest spots to prevent freezing. For longer storage, wrap celery tightly in aluminum foil (a slightly damp paper towel underneath helps). Store it in the crisper drawer—this method keeps it crisp for weeks! I always keep my celery in water, and it stays super crunchy. If you want to save the ends and leaves, freeze them for homemade stock. Easy, fresh, and zero waste! #CeleryTips #KitchenHacks #FreshVeggies #Food #Cooking

Keep Veggies Fresh for Days—No More Waste!

Wash your veggies right after you get home, but make sure they’re totally dry before storing. Moisture is the enemy of freshness! Store similar veggies together—don’t mix leafy greens with root veggies in the same bag. It really does make a difference. Use your fridge’s humidity drawers: high humidity for most veggies (like broccoli, lettuce, and spinach), low humidity for fruits and a few veggies like tomatoes. Keep ethylene-sensitive veggies (like cucumbers and asparagus) away from ethylene producers (like apples and tomatoes). This helps prevent early spoilage. Only buy what you’ll eat in a week and plan your meals. Smaller, more frequent grocery trips keep your fridge from turning into a veggie graveyard. Trust me, these simple steps save money and keep your veggies crisp and tasty longer! #FreshVeggies #FridgeHacks #HealthyEating #Food #Cooking

Keep Celery Crunchy for 4 Weeks—Here’s How I Do It

Wrap your celery tightly in aluminum foil. This lets ethylene gas escape, which keeps your celery from getting limp. Just make sure to re-wrap it after every use and swap out the foil if it gets dirty. If you prefer, you can use a damp paper towel. Wrap it around the bottom of the stalk, secure with a rubber band, and put it in a plastic bag. Don’t seal the bag too tight—let that ethylene out! Another way is to chop the celery, put it in a container, and cover it with filtered water. Change the water every day to keep things fresh. No matter which method you use, toss any celery that turns white, hollow, or bends away from the stem. Usually, you’ll get three to four weeks of crispness if you store it right. #CeleryHacks #KitchenTips #FreshVeggies #Food #Cooking
