celeriac/celery root

[pipee_pl]

does anyone know if this root vegetable is induction friendly? i do know that it is low in carbs, it is also not popular in north america- but here in europe it is and i would like to try it, thanks.

so i just deep fried thin slices of this vegetable in olive oil and added s and p. it was really good, don't know if i can describe it, not like a potato, not really sure. but it had a slightly sweet taste to it which was nice with the salt and pepper. it was a nice change anyway, give it a whirl!

I believe it's part of the "other" veggies that are induction friendly, the ones that you can have 1 cup per day. I've never eaten it before, what is it like?

Other Vegetables
You can have one cup per day of these veggies if salad does not exceed two cups. The following vegetables are slightly higher in carbohydrate content than the salad vegetables:

artichoke
celery root
pumpkin
artichoke hearts
rhubarb
asparagus
chard
sauerkraut
bamboo shoots
collard greens
scallions
dandelion
snow peas
bean sprouts
dandelion greens
spaghetti squash
beet greens
eggplant
spinach
broccoli
hearts of palm
string or wax beans
broccoli rabe
kale
summer squash
brussels
kohlrabi
tomato
bean sprouts
leeks
turnips
cabbage
okra
water chestnuts
cauliflower
onion
zucchini
If a vegetable, such as spinach or tomato, cooks down significantly, it must be measured raw so as not to underestimate its carb count.

thanks for the info! i went to my atkins bible and it is indeed in there, i assumed it wasn't because it is not a very popular vegetable in north america.
julirama, i have actually never tasted it before and thought i would give it a whirl- i am hoping to make some sort of chips with it.

funny you should ask Destertthorn posted a topic about recipes for that veggie just this week. use the search feature and please add your chip recipe when you get it.
