Don't know about celeriac. They're usually rounder and more of a.yellow green color, I thought. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-vegetable-is-this#post-1020742 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 15:12:39 +0000 spaniellove 1020742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: I love mashed potatoes with celeriac so much that I never make it without anymore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-vegetable-is-this#post-1020740 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 15:11:53 +0000 yoursilverlining 1020740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: If it is celeriac, that's an odd looking one! ;-) We love celeriac pureed with parsnips in soup, and also use shredded celeriac in a sort of cole slaw/veggie slaw. It's got a nice, peppery flavor! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-vegetable-is-this#post-1020728 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 15:09:47 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1020728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Might be celery root!<br /> <a href="http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/celery_root_mash/" rel="nofollow">http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/celery_root_mash/</a><br /> <a href="http://localfoods.about.com/od/fall/tp/aboutceleryroot.htm" rel="nofollow">http://localfoods.about.com/od/fall/tp/aboutceleryroot.htm</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-vegetable-is-this#post-1020722 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 15:09:03 +0000 spaniellove 1020722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: That's kind of what I was hoping when I bought it...I didn't know what a celery heart was! So I thought it was a skinny/early celery root. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-vegetable-is-this#post-1020720 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 15:08:53 +0000 Happygal 1020720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still think it is a parsnip--maybe they had the other things mislabeled! Parsnips can be treated just like potatoes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-vegetable-is-this#post-1020716 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 15:08:27 +0000 Rubies 1020716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was going to say "a messed up celeriac". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-vegetable-is-this#post-1020707 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 15:07:02 +0000 yoursilverlining 1020707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it was labeled as "celery heart", is there any chance it is celeriac?? I've never seen one so long, but other than that it looks a lot like celeriac! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-vegetable-is-this#post-1020706 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 15:06:58 +0000 spaniellove 1020706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: Hmm...possibly? I wish I was a better cook and could just tell from the way something looked what I should do with it!</p> <p>ETA: That's true! It is a root after all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-vegetable-is-this#post-1020700 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 15:06:34 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1020700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My guess was parsnip, but I guess you narrowed that out :) Want to cut it open? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-vegetable-is-this#post-1020688 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 15:04:50 +0000 regberadaisy 1020688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: kinda looks like a form of yucca?</p> <p>When all else fails, throw it in a roast! hehe </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-vegetable-is-this#post-1020677 Thu, 15 Aug 2013 15:02:37 +0000 spaniellove 1020677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I grabbed this at WF but it was mislabeled as "celery hearts" which it's definitely not! It looks sort of like a parsnip but it's warty, and this was the least warty and gnarly of the lot...plus they had parsnips nearby and they looked different. I wish I knew what it was so I could find a use for it! Any guesses?</p> <p>[attach=2312/13/mrl916.600x448.Photo-Aug-15--3-57-36-PM.jpg] </p>
