Earthbound Farm Organic Celery Hearts
What it is
These are the tender, pale inner stalks of the celery plant, often referred to as the heart. They are typically sweeter and less fibrous than the outer stalks. This product comes from organic farming practices, meaning it is grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The packaging contains 454 grams of fresh, ready-to-use celery hearts.
How people cook with it
Celery hearts are a versatile ingredient, perfect for both raw and cooked applications in the kitchen.
- Snacking with dips
- Adding to salads
- Flavoring soups
- Stir-fry additions
To prepare, simply rinse the celery hearts under cool water. You can then slice them thinly for salads or crudités, or chop them into uniform pieces for mirepoix, the aromatic base for many soups, stews, and sauces. They can also be left whole for a satisfying crunch when served with your favorite dips. Their tender texture makes them suitable for quick cooking in stir-fries or braises, where they absorb flavors well without becoming mushy.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to full celery stalks, hearts are generally more tender and have a milder, sweeter flavor. They also tend to have less stringiness, making them more pleasant to eat raw. The inner stalks are protected by the outer leaves, contributing to their lighter color and delicate taste.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs who appreciate fresh, organic produce for everyday meals.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused celery hearts in an airtight container or resealable bag in the refrigerator. Ensure they are kept moist, perhaps by wrapping them in a damp paper towel, to maintain their crispness for up to a week.
