It is easy to dry your own celery flakes to be used in salads, tuna salads, or one of your favorite recipes.
I just strip the celery stalks of all the leaves and let them dry out thoroughly. They can be pulverized by hand and stored in a plastic bag.
When celery is real cheap, I buy several bunches to use when the price goes too high or I need some and don't have any fresh. After washing the celery and letting it dry, I remove all the leaves. I put them, whole, on baking sheets lined with paper towels.
Instead of throwing away your leafy celery tops, make your own dry celery flakes to use for flavoring in cooking.
How do I dry them?
