Storage Tips
Store celery leaves in the refrigerator, wrapped in a damp paper towel and placed inside a plastic bag or airtight container. This helps retain moisture and keeps them fresh for up to a week. Alternatively, you can freeze celery leaves by chopping them and storing them in an airtight freezer bag for later use in soups and stews.
