Celery Root Slaw in Orange Cups

No ratings yet

HOW TO PEEL CELERY ROOT Celery root is a fantastic ingredient. It’s inexpensive, highly flavorful, and versatile, and a nutritional powerhouse. It is packed with fiber and vitamins B6, C, and K. It’s also a good source of antioxidants and essential minerals, such as phosphorus, potassium, and manganese. The best way to peel off its thick, uneven skin is to place the root upright on a cutting board, stationary on its natural base, and cut off the peel from top to bottom using a sharp chef’s knife.
