Frequently Asked Questions About Celery stalk and leaves
Can you eat celery leaves and stalks?
Yes, both celery leaves and stalks are edible. The stalks work raw or cooked, while the leaves add a stronger herbal flavor to soups, salads, sauces, and stocks.
How do you store celery stalk and leaves?
Store celery stalk and leaves in the refrigerator, unwashed and wrapped loosely in a dry paper towel inside a bag or container. The leaves wilt sooner than the stalks, so use them first.
Can you freeze celery stalk and leaves?
Yes, you can freeze celery stalk and leaves, though they will soften after thawing. Wash and dry them thoroughly, chop the stalks, and freeze in an airtight container for soups, stews, or stock.
Can you eat celery stalk and leaves raw?
Yes, celery stalk and leaves can be eaten raw. Slice the stalks into salads or serve them as a crunchy snack; add the leaves sparingly at first because their flavor is more pronounced.
How do you wash celery stalk and leaves?
Rinse celery stalk and leaves under cool running water and rub away any soil. Dirt can collect in the stalk grooves, so separate the stalks and rinse the leaves individually before eating or cooking.
How do you use celery leaves in cooking?
Use celery leaves like a fresh herb: chop them into salads, soups, sauces, or stocks. Their flavor is stronger than the stalk’s, so add a small handful first and adjust to taste.

No, removing the strings from celery stalk is optional. If the fibrous strands feel tough, pull them off by catching a strand at the cut end and drawing it down the stalk.
What can you substitute for celery stalk and leaves?
For celery stalk, chopped fennel or bok choy can provide crunch, though the flavor will differ. For celery leaves, parsley is a practical herb substitute; neither replacement exactly reproduces celery’s distinctive taste.
Why is celery stalk and leaves bitter?
Celery stalk and leaves can taste bitter when the plant is older, stressed, or particularly strong in flavor. Trim away damaged parts and balance the taste in cooked dishes with other vegetables, herbs, or a little acidity.
Does celery stalk and leaves juice lower blood pressure?
No, celery stalk and leaves juice is not a proven treatment for high blood pressure. Do not replace prescribed medication with it; if you have high blood pressure or a celery allergy, ask your healthcare professional before making it a regular drink.

What is Celery stalk and leaves?
Celery stalk and leaves are the crisp stems and fragrant green leaves of the celery plant. The stalks are often eaten raw, chopped into salads or served with dips, while both parts add a fresh, savoury note to soups, stews and stocks. In many kitchens, the leaves are used like an herb, stirred in near the end or scattered over a finished dish.
The stalks are crunchy and mildly vegetal when raw, becoming tender with cooking. This is a low-calorie vegetable with fibre and vitamin K. Add it to a salad for crunch, or use the leaves to boost flavour without relying on much oil or salt.
