Monarch organic celeriac

$ 5,00$ 28,00

Apium graveolens var. rapaceum, Apiaceae

Monarch celeriac is a much-loved variety that has already been awarded the Royal Horticultural Society's Order of Merit. It produces beautiful, apple- to cantaloupe-shaped balls with creamy, white flesh. 

Whether sliced raw into fine julienne strips and coated with a remoulade sauce, or baked in a salt crust, celeriac is an essential preserving vegetable on Northern European tables. A little less potent than parsley, it is highly aromatic and versatile in the kitchen. Eat them all winter long in purées, soups, Waldorf salads, gratins, or simply roasted for a long time in the oven!
