Sizing
4-, 8-, 12-, 18-, 24-, 30-, 36-, and 48-counts.
Receiving Inspecting:
Celery should have straight stalks with rigid ribs. Ribs should snap crisply when bent. Inside surface of ribs should be clean and smooth. Leaves should be fresh, well-colored, and show no signs of wilting.
Storage Handling:
Short-term storage recommendation (7 days or less)
- 34-36° F/1-2° C
- 90-98% relative humidity
Shelf-Life:
21 to 28 days.
Troubleshooting:
High temperatures and low humidity may result in rapid wilting. Store properly.
Celery is sensitive to ethylene gas; exposure may cause yellowing. For best quality, keep away from ethylene-producing fruits and ripening rooms.
Usage Ideas:
- Toss chopped green leaf with sliced celery, chopped Red Delicious apples, and creamy anchovy dressing.
- Stuff celery sticks with salmon mousse; garnish with chives and minced shallots.
