Can it sit out?
Celery root is shelf-stable, so sitting out at room temperature isn’t the safety question — storage time is.
How to tell if celery root has gone bad
- Soft or spongy give anywhere under the skin
- Brown hollow channels running through the cut face
- Mold packed into the root crevices
- A sour smell instead of the usual celery-and-parsley one
When in doubt, throw it out.
Peel it deep — the outer layer is woody and no amount of cooking softens it.
