30 celeriac recipes

When is celeriac in season?

UK celeriac season starts in July and ends in March. Celeriac is at its best between October and February.

Why we love celeriac

Similar in flavour to celery but with creamy, firm flesh. Celeriac takes on flavours extremely well and is very versatile – add it to curries and stews, add it raw to zingy remoulade or use it in place of a steak for a vegan meal. Buy it with the leaves on, if possible, as they are the best indication of freshness and quality.

Health benefits of celeriac

Celeriac is a robust root vegetable that's high in fibre, so eating more of it may promote a healthy gut and digestive system. It's also a good source of vitamin C, especially when eaten raw.
