Organic lacto-fermented celeriac and apple
€5.50 €6.50 Out-of-Stock
Ingredients
Sauce
- 1 large apple, cored and cut into pieces
- 3 tablespoons walnut oil (or a good olive oil)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- ½ teaspoon raw mustard
- Black pepper, to taste
Noodles
- ½ celeriac
- 3 to 4 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 small spring onion, finely sliced
- Pumpkin, sunflower and sesame seeds and fresh thyme, to garnish
Method
- Peel the celeriac and make your noodles with a spiralizer, a julienne mandoline or a well sharpened knife.
- Immediately coat the noodles with 3 to 4 tablespoons of lemon juice, then set aside: the lemon stops the celeriac from browning.
- For the sauce, blend all the ingredients until smooth.
- Toss the noodles with the sauce, add the garnishes of your choice and serve cold.
Tip
This dish keeps for 1 to 2 days in the fridge; make the sauce ahead to save time on a weeknight. If the celeriac feels too firm, let it marinate for half an hour in the lemon juice before adding the sauce, and it will soften noticeably.

FAQ: your questions about raw celeriac noodles
Can you eat celeriac raw?
Yes, and it is one of its most classic preparations in France: céleri rémoulade is nothing other than raw grated celeriac. Raw, it keeps a crunchy texture and a brighter aroma than when cooked. Peel it generously, as the skin is fibrous, and add lemon straight away because its flesh browns very quickly in the air.
Does celeriac cause gas?
It can, in sensitive people. It contains fibre and fermentable sugars, in particular mannitol, which is one of the FODMAPs. Raw and in large quantities, the effect is more marked. Two adjustments help: start with small portions, and cut it very finely, which is exactly what the spiralizer does, to make digestion easier.
Is celeriac a starchy food or a vegetable?
It is a root vegetable, not a starchy food. Despite looking like a tuber, it provides around 6 to 8 g of carbohydrate per 100 g, four times less than a potato, for barely 40 kcal. That is why it is so often suggested as a lighter alternative in purées or fries, without needing to count it as a source of starch.
