Celery

Celery Info: You'll notice that our celery is smaller and more flavorful than what you find in the supermarket. Grocery store celery is pumped up with water, which waters-down the flavor. You can use our celery any way you would store celery; it'll just be more strongly flavored. Store in a bag or airtight container in the fridge; it should last several weeks that way.
