Make Your Celery Last Longer
Our celery stays fresh in our refrigerator for about 3 weeks by doing this simple trick.
We completely wrap it in foil. Some weeks we use it up immediately and other times it may be 3 weeks, but regardless, we wrap it in foil immediately when we bring it home from the grocery store. Give it a try and see what I am talking about.

Thanks for the tip
We just tossed some so might try this
☀️😊
Awesome!
No ways … that simple!! I always have to throw away a large chunk of celery, but hopefully this will do the trick. Thanks for sharing Diane!
It works and you’re welcome❤️
Also works for cucumbers
No way!!!! We will definitely have to try that. Thank you❤️
Great tip. I cut off some of the bottom of asparagus and put it in a glass of water (partially submerged). It lasts a while that way but not 3 weeks. I wonder if your method works for other vegetables?
I do that with my asparagus too and green onions. But with green onions I place the store produce bag over the top, place it in a glass with a little water then put a rubber band over the glass to hold the produce bag tight. I have never tried foil with any others because they never last in my house. When I use celery it is usually only a stalk or two so that’s why this works well for me.
Update: I was just told by Sheree that foil works with cucumbers too!
Thanks for the green onion tip.
You’re welcome, I forgot to say I refrigerate the green onion like that.
That’s a great tip Diane. I have to admit, I don’t think I give celery a chance to last that long. I nibble celery sticks throughout the day all summer-long.
Then it probably wouldn’t benefit you. I only use it for cooking. Have a great day! 💕
What a great idea. Thanks for sharing that and I will be wrapping my celery in foil from now on.
Nice to see you here❤️ You’re welcome!
Great tip Diane!
Thank you Dorothy❤️
I never knew this trick, but I’m going to try it now! Thanks, Diane!
You will be surprised at how well it works. Just make sure it is fresh. You’re welcome💕
Thank you for reblogging dear friend.❤️
Wow! Had no idea- thank you!
You’re very welcome Jessica.
I will have to try this, thanks Diane!
I love that I don’t have to buy it sooner, I hate waste. Just seal it completely and you’re welcome. ❤️
I tried to congratulate your daughter on the other post but I think my comments are going to the spam folder.
I got the comment, thank you.
This is a wonderful hack we’ve used for years!
I don’t know why I haven’t share it before this. One of those things I do and figure everyone does. Haha
I’ll definitely have to try this. Tired of limp, soggy celery. :/
I know it’s the worst when you want to use it and it’s bad.
Thanks for this wonderful tip!
You are very welcome❤️
Great tip…so tired of buying half dead cut up celery in the smaller bags and really love the flavor of the leaves for cooking.
I agree! I don’t use a lot of celery at one time so mine tends to sit around longer than other veggies. This was the perfect solution for me.
I do make a killer celery soup..sounds so so but is one of our favs when the celery is just right!
I have never heard of celery soup. If you ever feel like sharing your recipe I would love to try it.
I will try to get it organized to share!
Indeed, this method works!
Unless you accidentally leave the end uncovered. Lol
I’ve never heard this before! I’ve been cutting mine and putting it in a container with a little bit of water. It helps but not long enough it seems. I’m going to try your tip!
It is wonderful as long as it is sealed from end to end. Saves me from throwing out a lot of it.
Didn’t know that Diane. Thank you. Have you heard there is a mustard shortage? Heard that today – mustard seeds, of which a lot are grown in Canada, are in short supply due, so stock up if you use it.
Oh no! My husband should have stock in mustard. I will tell him, thank you. ❤️
You’re welcome Diane – I just heard that yesterday as apparently the regular French’s yellow mustard is difficult to find.
