CELERY ROOT
Bulbous. Tough. Mysterious. Difficult to clean. No, it’s not Jeff Tweedy. It’s celeriac. Though its ugly exterior scares many away, the French revere it for their classic celery remoulade dish. Popular in ladylike green apple salads or fancy soups, the ugly celery root is often ignored at the grocery store. Like the cystic acne-riddled boy in your high school, a gentle spirit that tastes like licorice and lemon lurks beneath the knobby exterior. If you want to be totes green and indie, use the hollow stalk of the upper plant as a straw for your Bloody Mary at your next yuppie brunch.
