Hint to Make Celery Taste Great (& don’t you just hate those stringy things)

You read right! I eat a lot of celery and actually enjoy the taste if I prepare it this way.

1. The night before clean & cut the celery into the desired lengths.
2. Those irritating strands in celery are called xylem and phloem. Don’t they sound like something you wouldn’t want to eat? They are located pretty much on the outside of  the stalk so you can pinch them between your thumb & a knife and tear them down & out of the stalk of celery.
3. Then mix 2 t salt and 2 C of water into a resealable plastic bag then place all of the celery into the salted water. Make sure there is enough water to cover the celery and refrigerate overnight.
4. The next morning strain off the water and enjoy!
