Handling Tip
Selection
- The celery stalk is thick, straight, and tightly packed together.
- The stalks and the leaves are light green and the leaves are not wilted.
- Check the inner stalk and make sure a uniform color of green. Avoid blackheart celery, a brown discoloration that eventually turns black.
Storage
- Celery should be stored at 32°F (0°C) with a relative humidity of ninety-five percent and with mist.
- The typical shelf life is five to seven weeks. Higher temperature decreases shelf life, with less than two weeks of shelf life at 41°F (5°C). High temperature and low humidity lead to wilting.
- Celery is sensitive to odor and should not be stored with strong aroma products. Especially, apple and onion.
- Celery is sensitive to high levels of ethylene, a naturally occurring gas that regulates ripening, at a higher temperature. Symptoms include yellowing and pithiness. If the temperature is low and the ethylene level is low, there will be less of an effect on celery. Celery produces a very low level of ethylene.
- Celery is not sensitive to chilling injury and should be stored as cold as possible without freezing. The freezing point for celery is 31.1°F (-0.5°C).
