Why does fresh celery stay crunchy when refrigerated?
Start by trimming each stalk, rinsing and placing them in a plastic bag rather than storing the bunch intact. Store in the bin in the refrigerator, well away from the sides and back of the fridge to prevent freezing which will ruin it. Sprinkle the celery occasionally to keep it crisp. If the celery has already wilted, then soaking in cold water for several hours will return some of the crispness. I wash and dry very well, then wrap in aluminum foil, making sure to cover completely. Then place in the crisper drawer. I use first method, plastic storage bags, but wrap the veggies in damp paper towel before placing them in the bag. This also works well without having to trim each piece and the moisture from the paper towel eliminates the need to add water. They last much longer in a veggie drawer. I can 100% vouch for the tin foil method. I've actually had celery last for months tightly wrapped in tin foil. No need to trim.
