WHAT IS CELERIAC?
Celeriac, also known as celery root, is a variety of celery grown for its large, bulbous root rather than its stalks. It is a hardy, root vegetable that has a knobby, irregular shape and a pale brown, rough exterior. Inside, the flesh is white, crisp and has a delicate, celery-like flavor. Celeriac can be eaten raw or cooked and is often used in soups, stews, and purees. It can also be grated or finely sliced and served in salads or as a garnish.
IS CELERIAC KETO FRIENDLY
Celeriac is a low-carb vegetable and can be considered keto-friendly. 100 grams of celeriac contains 3.6 grams of total carbohydrates, 2.1 grams of which are fiber, so it has a net carbs of 1.5 grams.
Celeriac is also a good source of vitamin K, potassium and vitamin C. It can be enjoyed in a variety of ways such as in soups, stews, roasted, mashed and can be a good substitute for potatoes.
