Yes!!! You can freeze celery. It will lose it's crispness so this is why frozen celery is best used in soups ect. I would just chop it into chunks a freeze in ziplocks.

What Kristina does we do too. We ate the last of last year's celery yesterday, a handful of it inside a roast chicken. Lots of flavor.

Thanks! Just what I wanted to hear! Nancy

I think dehydration would be better.

It might keep better if you blanch it first (chop, boil for 2-3 minutes, drain, plunge in ice water, drain, then freeze). This is supposed to destroy the enzymes that will turn it even mushier over time.

I have to admit that I've always been too lazy to blanch vegetables before freezing. What I usually do is make a casserole or soup that requires the vegetable and freeze that.

Now, after reading this thread, I'm hungry for celery! But the stuff in the garden is only about 4" high.
