Fresh celery stalks with 14/16 caliber sizing designed for food preparation. These ready-to-use celery stalks provide a consistent thickness and typical crisp texture and flavor of celery, suitable for home kitchens and foodservice operations. Packed and handled as produce, the stalks are intended for use in salads, soups, stews, braises, snacks and for juicing, delivering dietary fiber and a distinct herbal aroma to recipes.

Advantages

Consistent 14/16 caliber sizing ensures uniform cooking times and predictable portioning. The stalks are crisp and firm, making them suitable for raw applications as well as for cooked preparations. Using pre-sized celery stalks reduces time spent trimming and sorting, streamlines meal prep, and helps maintain consistent texture across multiple servings. The neutral, familiar celery flavor blends with a wide range of ingredients without overpowering other flavors.

How to use

Rinse stalks under cold running water before use and trim any remaining leaf or base as needed. For raw use, slice or chop to the desired size for salads, snacks or garnish. For cooked dishes, chop into even pieces to ensure uniform cooking; add earlier in long-simmering preparations for milder flavor or toward the end for more pronounced crunch. For juicing, cut into segments that fit the feed chute of your juicer or use a high-powered blender and strain if required.

Usage recommendations

Store refrigerated at 0–4°C and use within the typical shelf-life for fresh celery to preserve texture and flavor. Avoid freezing raw stalks if maintaining crispness is required; blanching is recommended prior to freezing if long-term storage is needed. Wash before consumption and follow standard food safety practices when preparing for service.
