Dear Heloise: I have learned that celery can be frozen. This is good for soups and stews, although I have put it in my turkey stuffing, too. I place the stalks in the blender with water, chop, then drain. After it is drained, I put it in a gallon freezer bag and flatten it out. This makes it possible to break off the amount you need when cooking. Again, I only do this for use in cooking. — Pat H., via email

This is one way to freeze celery, but by draining it you are losing a lot of nutrients. — Heloise
