Celeriac – Giant Prague

1703 Apium graveolens var. rapaceum

100 days.
Giant Prague is a German heirloom that was introduced in 1871, quickly becoming a standard in European gardens.
Plants are 12-18″ high. Knobby roots grow to 5-6″ with creamy-white flesh and fine texture.
Tossed aside as ugly and un-sexy (!) until recently, celeriac is making a comeback with gourmet chefs and gardeners growing a year-round food supply. Celeriac is simply celery that has been bred to grow a large root and few leaves, making a lovely winter storage vegetable that adds celery-flavour to cooking. Use celeriac roots either boiled, mashed, cubed into stews, or roasted with garlic and potatoes. Leaves and stalks are best used in soups.
