The answer to the second part is: It doesn't need to be placed in tap water but your finger turns wrinkled after being left in water for extended periods of time is due to the process of osmosis, or the transfer of water through a permeable material (i.e. water, cloth, a teabag). In simpler terms when the amount of water is unequal on either side of the permeable material then the water will transfer to equalize
Osmosis causes vegetables in fresh water to crisp up. This is because the liquid in their cells contains dissolved substances. Water therefore diffuses in through the semipermeable cell membrane, causing the cells to become turgid.
celery is marked fresh
No
When converting fresh celery to dried celery, you typically use a ratio of 1:3. This means that for every 1 cup of fresh celery, you would need approximately 1/3 cup of dried celery. However, it's important to note that dried celery is more concentrated in flavor, so you may need to adjust the amount based on your personal preference and the recipe you are using.
Yes
Whoa there, cowboy! One cup of fresh celery is roughly equivalent to about 1 tablespoon of celery flakes. So if you're looking to swap in some dried celery, just remember that 1 cup of fresh celery equals around 1 tablespoon of celery flakes. Hope that helps, partner!
Yes, you can substitute celery seed for celery in a recipe, but keep in mind that celery seed has a more concentrated flavor, so you may need to use less of it compared to fresh celery.

Celery?
To determine this, use your senses of sight, smell, and touch. First look at the celery. The color of the celery stalks should be a consistent and light green in color thoughout; the leaves will be a slightly darker color green. The stalks should be free of blemishes and brown spots, and the leaves on the end should look fresh, not wilted. If the leaves are cut off at the end, this is often a sign that the celery is not fresh since grocery story produce clerks sometimes cut off wilted leaves to extend its shelf life at the store. Also the cut end of the bunch of celery should be dry and clean, not slippery or slimy in anyway. Next, using your thumb and forefinger, grip and try to lift the bunch of celery from the middle of one stalk. Fresh celery will be rigid and stiff, and will lift without too much effort, although it may be heavy. If the stalk bows or arcs between your fingers and is flexible, then the celery is not fresh. Finally, smell the celery. Fresh celery should smell, well, fresh. You should be able to detect a subtle celery aroma, but not odors of mold or mildew. They grow vertically in the dirt so some earthy smell, especially at the base of the bunch, is to be expected.
To refresh a baguette and make it taste fresh and crispy again, preheat your oven to 350F, then lightly dampen the baguette with water. Place the baguette in the oven for about 5-10 minutes until it is heated through and the crust becomes crispy. Enjoy your freshly refreshed baguette!
