CELERY

The celery grown in Western NY is quite different than the celery grown in California. The "heart" of the plant is not as white (which indicates our celery is more nutrient dense) and the stalks are smaller and more fibrous. For this reason, it may be best to chop the celery if eating it raw. You can eat the leaves, too, they are great at adding flavor.
 
QUICK IDEAS: Chop into a salad and tear the leaves into it too; slice and add to a stir-fry or soup
Celery Stalk Salad w/Grapes, Apples, Goat Cheese & Pecans: serves 2-4

1/2 cup olive oil

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

1 cup toasted pecans

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Combine all of the ingredients except for the goat cheese (include the celery leaves) and toss. Taste, adjusting the seasoning as desired. Transfer to a serving platter and dot with the goat cheese.
