Mother Earth Products Dried Celery, Crosscut, 9 Ounce

My family goes through A LOT of celery. I use it in just about everything from stir fry to tuna salad. We're always either using the last of it or completely out of it. A friend recommended this product to me for soups and stews and even casseroles. I'm glad she did. So far I've used it for soups and stew and it's phenomenal! It rehydrates like a dream and gives that fresh taste that elevates the flavor ofany soup or stew. It may seem pricey but considering the prices at the grocery stores lately it's not that far out of line. It also takes the guess work out of timing. No more adding in the celery too early so it's a dog mess. Try it. I don't think you'll be disappointed

This stuff is great. Good flavor and lasts a long time. Fresh taste and dehydrates pretty well for small chunks. Easy to use and green color. Smells great and sealed properly. Use it a bunch to make celery powder.

Nice to use when there’s not fresh celery available. I use it in soups, pasta salads & chicken salad.

This is a strange product that works. It needs to be reconstituted before use. When it is fully reconstituted- after about five minutes - using a ratio of one part product, and two parts water, you have a worthy addition for your soups, salads and sauces. It has a slight crunch, and a celery flavor. 5Sure beats those limp celery stalks in the bottom of the refrigerator.).

I like to have dehydrated veggies on hand, to throw into an impromptu soup (when I don't have any fresh veggies on hand and I don't feel like going out to the store). They are also a great way to add veggies to your diet - throw a handful into rice or quinoa while it's cooking, or reconstitute some and add to a meatloaf you are making, etc. Ideally I'd love to buy the pre-made soup starter, but since I'm allergic to peppers I have to buy carrots, onions, celery, and tomatoes separately and make my own blend. I ordered all four, and two of them came to me with the safety seals broken - one of them was completely ripped off and stuck up into the cap, and the other had a tear and hole in it. After 45 mins in the phone with A--z--n trying to get a replacement or refund, and getting nowhere, I contacted the manufacturer directly. They were nice enough to ship replacements to me in time for the easy post-Thanksgiving turkey soup that I've got planned for this weekend. The other two arrived fine, safety seal intact. I've already used them a few times, and I've concluded that Mother Earth makes a nice product that they stand behind. I put carrots, tomatoes, and celery in yesterday's plain rice and it made a nice confetti rice side dish. I also threw some dried tomatoes in a chicken lentil soup I made last week - also yummy. Earlier this week, I made some homemade doggie treats that called for carrots. Since I didn't have any fresh carrots, I reconstituted some dried ones in hot water, and added them to the recipe. The treats came out great, and after gifting them to a relative for her dog, I got a text saying that her pooch went crazy for the treats! So two thumbs (and paws) up!!

This is great in soups. I use a lot of celery flakes and it is sometimes hard to find. Being able to buy in bulk is wonderful. The size of the flakes is nice and adds good color to the dish. It is easy to use and smells great. Smells fresh and tasty.

This is an easy way to store and keep celery for long periods of time. What you get our pieces of celery about 3x3x3 mm square. These dehydrated pieces must be taken out and rehydrated in water before using in your cooking. Fairly easy to do and great to have HANDY rather than always looking for fresh celery in the store. I think the only way I will not use this celery is when a fresh celery is required by the recipe.

Love this stuff I use it a lot in my cooking and it finally gives me enough product. I’m not running to the store for it all the time.
