If you want to freeze whole celery stalks for future stuffing or mirepoix, here’s the move: wrap them in paper towels first. Then put them in a freezer bag. The towels absorb extra moisture, preventing that nasty ice crystal slush. It sounds like witchcraft, but it works. Just peel off the soggy paper towel when you thaw them—it’s like unwrapping a weird green mummy.
Also, a totally random fact: celery has a negative calorie effect? Yeah, that’s mostly a myth. It takes like 5 calories to digest a 10-calorie stalk. So no, you can’t eat a freezer’s worth of frozen celery and lose weight. You’ll just become a very cold, very gassy person.
