March is National Celery Month.
This was a new one to me. I like celery. In fact, I eat it plain. It has a sweet, juicy flavor. I like it with ranch dressing or peanut butter too. But I didn’t know that this dieter’s friend had its own month. That’s good marketing.
It gets better than that. As I was researching National Celery Month, I found a contest. Duda Farm Fresh Foods, out of Oxnard, California, sells Dandy Celery. (I buy celery often, and I’ve never noticed the name on the bag. I’ll have to check the next time I’m at Walmart.) They have a great celery website, with a lot of recipes, an opinion poll, and a free contest to enter.
The Grand Prize is a $500 Visa gift card to “stalk” your fridge (their pun, not mine), a Vitamix blender, and fresh Dandy celery. That’s an impressive prize to promote celery. I encourage you to enter here.
I created my own celery survey.
- Do you like celery?
- If you do, how do you eat it?
- Do you:
- chop it up in dishes?
- scoop dips with a short stalk?
- garnish your bloody mary?
- eat celery in some other inventive way?
Let me know in the comments. I like it as food, not as a drink or garnish.
Good luck with the contest. It’s a great way to celer-brate a tasty vegetable.
