I only buy during holidays when it is on sale and then I use an Excalibur dehydrator and put the dried celery in canning jars.

I have freezer meals, meats and other things that need that space! So I dehydrate my celery. That’s pretty easy too! I just chop up my celery like you do (although the last time I got a good deal on celery, it was $1 for a 5 pound bag already chopped up!). Then I spread it out on the gardenpathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00401840113446791143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359618907926889520.post-33971278820069779702018-02-21T20:08:11.290-05:002018-02-21T20:08:11.290-05:00I don't tolerate blood pressure medicine very ...I don't tolerate blood pressure medicine very well so I try to eat a big piece of celery every day with my lunch.

I also cut the bottom off and put in container with a tiny bit of water in a sunny spot on the counter and it will regrow. It gets roots and green leaves. It will grow on the counter until the weather warms up. Then I will plant it outside in a pot. Love the idea about celery salt.<br />Blessings,<br />Patti<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359618907926889520.post-7258660845643519012018-02-21T12:02:12.603-05:002018-02-21T12:02:12.603-05:00Gloria, I did not know that but now that you'v...Gloria, I did not know that but now that you've shared it with me, I think I'll start researching ways to prepare it.

It contains properties that can naturally lower your BP and has been scientifically proven.

Around here, I get teased because I like celery so much, and we use several bunches per month. There is never any left to preserve!!! Your post made me think of buying extra, though, and freezing it for quick cooking days. It would be handy, for sure.<br /><br />I love putting things that I froze into small Beckyathomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11105835394158145451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359618907926889520.post-43048819378055105382018-02-20T20:24:46.721-05:002018-02-20T20:24:46.721-05:00We rarely waste celery because I use it up pretty ...We rarely waste celery because I use it up pretty quickly. I put a twist tie on the bag when I bring it home and it keeps at least twice as long.
