Important!To make such a side dish tasty and juicy, you need to choose a good celery root. Therefore, when choosing, you should prefer small root crops, as they are younger than the larger celery. On its surface there should not be rotten areas, because even having removed them, the taste will still be spoiled.

You should also refuse to buy a root crop that smells of mold and damp. If you need to put pressure on the top of the root, you can check if it has rotted inside. The presence of a stalk-stalk gives the site of celery, where it grows, a bitter taste, and this will ruin the taste of the whole dish.
