I’m pretty sure most of us have done it – that is to buy fruit and vegetables with the best intentions, and then forget about them. This rarely happens to me, until today – the vegetable in question, was celery. I do my grocery shopping every Thursday, and when I get in, I’m in a rush to shove everything into the refrigerator, without a second thought.
I didn’t need the celery until Tuesday. On reaching into the refrigerator today, I found a lovely bunch of wilting celery.
Most people would probably discard this, but not I. Don’t ever throw away wilting celery – it CAN be rescued and restored to its former crisp glory.
HOW TO RESTORE WILTING CELERY
Method
1. Take the bunch of wilting celery and slice off about 1-2 cm (½ – ¾ inch) off the bottom. Place the bunch, cut side down into a glass of cold water.
2. Allow to sit for at least 1 hour or overnight. You will then be greeted with a bunch of crisp celery, to use and enjoy at your pleasure.

Do you keep it in the fridge while in the water? I’m assuming yes.
Hi Bethany, You can keep it in the fridge or at room temperature.
