@framework Celeriac is often nicknamed “the ugly one” because of its rough, knobbly, and uneven appearance. The root looks gnarled and dirty, unlike smooth vegetables such as carrots or potatoes. Beneath that unattractive exterior, though, is a crisp, white flesh with a delicate celery-like flavor. Its looks can be deceiving—it’s delicious roasted, mashed, or pureed into soups. The nickname mostly reflects its looks, not its taste or quality.
