    Smile Limp celery? Refresh it...(tried & true)

    ...by adding stalks to cold water--the colder the better. I was skeptical when I first read this tip, but it worked like a charm when I tried it the other day.

    Another tip to prevent it from getting soggy is to wrap it in aluminum foil. I haven't tried that one yet

    Oh, and I am pretty sure I read the first tip on here somewhere, but I couldn't find it when searching.

    ~Yeah, the ice water does work well when the stalk is still green. Mine turned white so I threw it in the dehydrator this morning. It'll still flavor stuffing well green or white.~

    I've always chopped up my celery and froze it if it couldn't be revived. That way I can easily use it while cooking dishes, soups or stews that I require it in. I always do this with the leaves, I don't like eating them raw, but they add lots of flavour to dishes!

    I like to keep my carrots and celery and sometimes cut up bell pepper in ice water in my fridge! Quick easy grab and go snack!
