2. Before frying celery, be sure to blanch it in water. In this way, the color will not only be beautiful and emerald, but the taste will also be better. It is more tender and only needs to be stir-fried for a while.

: Selection of celery

Pinch celery: When we select celery, we can use our hands to pinch some celery stems. The ones that are usually easy to break are fresh and tender celery. The only thing that doesn't break easily is old celery.

Look at the appearance: When buying celery, the stems should not be too long, 20 to 30 centimeters is appropriate, short and sturdy ones are better, and the leaves should be green and not withered and yellow.

Look at the leaves: Fresh celery leaves are straight, while celery that has been stored for a long time will have its tips tilted, soft leaves, and even yellowing and rust spots. In addition, you should not buy celery with dark green leaves because it has a lot of crude fiber and tastes old.

Distinguish the types: There are four main types of celery on the market, namely green celery, yellow celery, white celery and beautiful celery. Generally, green celery has a strong flavor; yellow celery has a strong flavor and is relatively tender; white celery has a light flavor and is not crispy. Celery has a light taste and a crisp texture. You can choose it according to your needs.
