Celeriac performs best in cold, wet conditions. Therefore, this vegetable is an excellent alternative for less well-drained soils, especially since celeriac needs a lot of water during cultivation. After harvesting, the celeriac can taste a bit bitter. If the tubers are stored just above freezing for a few days, this makes them a bit sweeter. Keep cool and moist for up to two weeks. Note: not only the tuber but also the stems are tasty, for example in soup, pasta sauce or snert. However, the leaves can irritate the skin, just like with parsnips. If you are sensitive to this, wear gloves and long sleeves.
