Celery root, also known as celeriac, is a nutrient-dense vegetable native to Mediterranean cuisine but widely used in European cooking. It is the knobby, bulbous root of the celery plant and has a mild, earthy flavor with a hint of nuttiness. Low in calories and high in fiber, celery root is an excellent source of vitamin C, vitamin K, and potassium, promoting healthy skin, strong bones, and a balanced heart function. It also contains antioxidants that support immune health and fight free radicals. Despite its starchy appearance, it has a relatively low carbohydrate content compared to other root vegetables, making it a great option for those watching their carb intake. Often enjoyed mashed, roasted, or raw in salads, celery root offers versatility and a unique taste to your meals. However, due to its fiber content, it may take time for some individuals to adjust to its digestive effects.
