Celery root, or celeriac, is a knobby, beige-brown root with crisp white flesh. It tastes earthy and celery-like with a clean, herbal aroma, turning silky when pureed yet staying firm when roasted; common uses include slaws, soups, purees, roasts, and mashes, and it’s sold as heavy bulbs often trimmed of stems and sometimes waxed.\n\nCultivated around the Mediterranean, it became a staple in Central and Northern Europe, notably in French and German cuisines. It grows best in cool seasons and is typically harvested in fall and winter before being stored for extended use.
