Not Your Everyday Veggies: Celery Root

Daily Health Tips update for February 20:

Trying to incorporate more vegetables into your diet, but stuck in rut of peas and carrots? Here’s another tip on how to expand your vegetable repertoire.

If you like celery, try celery root, also known as celeriac. This unusual vegetable has bumpy skin “but tender flesh that tastes like a blend of celery or parsley.” Celery root contains 80% of the daily recommended intake of vitamin K in a one-cup serving. Vitamin K supports bone and circulatory health.

Although tough to peel, remove about half an inch of the tough skin. Add sliced celery root to soups or stir-fries.
