Availability: Sometimes in summer
Storage tips: Refrigerate in a plastic bag. Celery should store for at least 2 weeks. Separate leaves from stalks for best storage and use leaves quickly.
How to eat: Celery is excellent raw in salads (veggie salads or meat/egg salads). It's also great in soup and raw with dip.
How to preserve: Freeze it! I freeze it simply chopped up as I would use it in a soup and that way it's easy to use straight out of the freezer. The texture is lost so it doesn't lend itself to raw uses after it's been frozen.
Mix dressing ingredients together then toss with veggies and serve.
