Celery
|
Celery doubles in volume when
re-hydrated. It does not
replace fresh celery in salads and uncooked foods. But, tossed into soups
and stews, the flavor matches or beats fresh and it saves lots of time.
Soak
in equal amounts of hot water before adding it to casseroles with very
little liquid or adjust the liquid to compensate for the absorption by the
dehydrated celery. It works
in stuffing as well. You can
toss in a handful of dehydrated celery into any dish calling for fresh
celery.
