Celery knob/Celery root is quoted at $22.00 / 20LB case in the week of September 7, 2026.

The quote covers one 20LB case, the unit the supplier invoices; we never divide it by a weight to publish a price per pound.

What is in the case

One case of celery knob/Celery root is invoiced as 20LB, the weight the supplier states on the pack. Celery knob/Celery root is quoted in two pack sizes this week, from $5.95 for the 1EA to $22.00 for the 20LB. The quotes are not comparable per pound — the supplier does not publish a weight for every pack — so we list them side by side rather than ranking them.

About Celery knob/Celery root

Storage roots — carrots, parsnips, turnips, rutabaga, celery root, salsify, horseradish — are the part of the produce order that does not depend on this week's weather. They are lifted, cured and held, and our reference shows California, Michigan, Ontario, Quebec and New Jersey shipping in every month of the year, with Belgium, Israel, Guatemala, Mexico and Colombia filling the gaps. The real variable for a buyer here is not season but grade and size: a bulk case of jumbo carrots and a cello pack are two different products sold to two different kitchens.

Buying notes

Most of the group runs in twenty to forty pound sacks and cases, carrots are also quoted by the pound in cello, and horseradish, salsify and celery root come in smaller cases because they turn slowly. Turnip, horseradish and celery root are carried down to ten pound, two pound and single-each packs for kitchens that use them as an accent rather than a staple.
