Here are the best tips for storing celery in your fridge.<\/p>\n<h2>Why proper storage matters<\/h2>\n<p>Proper storage extends the shelf life of celery, preventing it from becoming limp and spoiled. When stored correctly, celery retains its nutrients and taste.<\/p>\n<h2>Best methods for storing celery<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Wrap in aluminum foil:<\/strong> Wrap the stalks tightly in aluminum foil. This restricts ethylene gas, helping keep it fresh.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use a plastic bag:<\/strong> Place celery in a plastic bag and leave it loosely open to allow airflow. This prevents moisture buildup, which can lead to rot.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Store upright in water:<\/strong> Trim the ends and place celery upright in a jar with water, covering the tops. This hydration method keeps it crunchy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Ideal fridge storage conditions<\/h2>\n<p>Keep your celery in the crisper drawer of your fridge, ideally at a temperature between 32\u00b0F and 40\u00b0F. This environment maintains freshness and prevents spoilage.<\/p>\n<h2>Signs of spoilage<\/h2>\n<p>Check for discoloration, softness, or a foul smell. If you notice any of these signs, it\u2019s best to discard the celery.<\/p>\n<h2>How long does celery last?<\/h2>\n<p>When stored properly, celery can last in the fridge for 1-2 weeks.
