Useful properties of celery root.
Celery root has a number of useful properties. For example, water infusions of celery roots are useful for gastritis with low acidity, gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer, rheumatism and neuralgia, and also as an emollient and anti-inflammatory agent for diseases of the upper respiratory tract. Celery root has a diuretic and restorative effect, and is widely used for kidney and bladder diseases.
Culinary use: it is added to soups, pickles and stews. Freshly grated, it is especially useful in combination with grated raw apples (in a ratio of 1:3), carrots and spicy herbs. Boiled celery root tastes like potatoes.
It is known that the finer the celery roots are cut, the more aromatic substances they release when stewed (!).
