Wow I didn't know celery roots looked like that!! When you first said baked celery, my brain presented me with a picture of very limp celery stocks. It was very scary. Always great to learn new things.

[@Gittemary]

Oh I see the confusion 😅 We have two different words for the roots and the stem in Danish, but I think it’s all just “celery” in English?😅

[@aubreevanderwoude8530]

Where I am in the US (Michigan), we refer to root as "celery root" and the stalks as just "celery". I am not a fan of the stalks, personally, but celery root is amazing!

[@TheVerdantSorcerer]

In England we call the stalk celery and the root celeriac.

[@jenann0350]

me too!! I'm not sure that is celery, think it maybe celerac? similar plant but all root tast delicious

[@lulinkastrubbel3966]

In German cellery is also both! You schould try cellery root „Schnitzel“(i eat it not vegan) . Its awesome! Served with Potato Salad (vingar, oil, onion, pickeld cucumber, a little mustard, broth powder, salt, Pepper) SOOOO FRICKING GOOD

[@carleyjackson5628]

I loved it! You make 'going green' seem more achievable for someone living in a more suburban area (rather than the usual homestead videos which most people will never experience!) The dishes looked AMAZING! Much love xx

[@Gittemary]

Thank you so much 😍🌿

[@saramathilde76]

As someone who lives in Denmark I find this series very interesting and I deffo try to take this into consideration when I shop for groceries.

[@Gittemary]

Happy to help ☺️💚

[@giuliagatti1912]

the food tins can be used to pot plant cuttings into, or for crafting projects, so I normally go with those :) it's also a good ide to look at how and if you can reuse something rather than only recycling it

[@Gittemary]

Absolutely, I plant my sprouts in food tins and use them for storage if they have nice designs ☺️🌿

[@LordLuciferKråka]

Mine leaked so I had to put them outside

[@Rayaelle]

You're such a gourmet cook! I cannot possibly put that much effort into my food, but I enjoy watching yours!

[@Gittemary]

I have a huge passion for gourmet, so I basically can’t help myself haha 😂👌

[@AthynVixen]

That celeriac looks delicious. I always wonder what to do with it when I see it

[@fercruz88]

Hey! love the reminder to understand better what's recyclable in your own city. And always love the fancy food, I would really like to see more tutorials/ recipes of your favorites :)

[@pheart2381]

All the pasta and rice in the uk seem to come in plastic bags that rip completely when they are opened. So it goes straight in a jar anyway! Herbs often come in cardboard refill boxes,but inside wrapped in plastic. My cat's usual dry food has gone back to paper sacks though,so that is something. Kitkat bars are back to paper and foil,but multipacks come in plastic. Kiplings cakes I wont buy. Why should a tiny bakewell tart need 4 layers?!!!(cardboard outer,plastic wrap,plastic tray,foil cup) a huge pile of rubbish for tarts that might be gone in seconds. Thanks for reminding me to defrost my freezer. It was a real mess!💗

[@debb12345]

I live in the US, and I haven’t been able to find tofu that isn’t in plastic yet. But I love to rinse out the plastic containers the tofu comes in, and I reuse them around the house as organizers!

[@supernova622]

Eeeeeee watching you use the mandoline with such small pieces made me anxious to watch 🙈

[@Gittemary]

Living on the edge here 😂👌

[@eggandchips4t]

Thanks for the information regarding glass, plastic -wrapped food versus unwrapped meat, etc. Really helps me to make informed decisions 🙂 x

[@Gittemary]

I hope that makes the decisions easier ☺️👌🌿

[@annarawicz]

Gittemary, try celery root fries. This way you won't have any scraps. Just cut them into long strips, sprinkle with salt and any spices you like and toss with olive oil. Spread on a baking sheet and put into a preheated oven at 200 C. Check after 10 minutes. Usually after 15 mins they are done and crispy (depending on how thick they are). Of course they could also be deep fried but that means more greasy and I never know what to do with the oil from deep frying 🤔.

[@anaalves3658]

I just love how you are a wealth of knowledge ☺️. I always learn something new from you. You help me to strive to do a better job of living a lower impact life and you remind me that no one is perfect and the small changes matter 👌😘😘😘😘😘

[@Gittemary]

Thank you so much! 🌿 I am so happy that you find my content helpful ☺️

[@MrsRedAng]

What beautiful dishes you made! So talented!

[@NguyenVinhHang]

I really liked the many dishes that you were able to create from celeriac root! 😊 Really inspirational zero waste and esthetics featured on your channel and the serve wares are bomb 💣😍☺️

[@cansupekoz7720]

celery root! can never find it in spain and that's the only part of the celery that i kind of sometimes can tolerate -- which is why i'm writing this comment: definitely try - grate raw celery root, mix with a tiny pinch of salt and (vegan) yogurt. there you go. you don't need anything else. maybe a tiny bit of dill on top, a drizzle of olive oil, and if you have it some sumac. imagine coleslaw but super low-key and delicious and healthy.

[@princessesarah2535]

Hello from France ! Your video is so amazing ! I looked for a recipe with celery and here is it ! I'm trying the baked celery tonight. Thanks Gittemary !

[@Gittemary]

I hope you like it 😍

[@davinahopkins8452]

Great points in this video Gittemary, I'm quite lucky that in my local supermarket they have a refill system, but it's a bit hit and miss at the frequency that they fill them🙁. I use my product bags where I can and have also been know to just whack the label on a loose potato/butternut squash 😂. The veg is called celeriac but I've never tried it. With recycling, my local council is **** with what plastic we can recycle so I'm always considering my plastic purchases. Brilliant video and thank you 😘 xx

[@davidthescottishvegan]

A fantastic comparison video Gittemary choosing between zero waste &: supermarket. Love 🥰 the video and love 💕 Gittemary.

[@neurolotte2406]

You made me so hungry, Gittemary, I love that celery too! Also, so envious of the plastic-free rice: In Italy tipically the box is paper, but inside the rice is in an air-tight plastic bag, supposedly so it stays fresh.

[@Gittemary]

I used to never see plastic-free rice but during the last 3 years it started popping up everywhere in Denmark, luckily ✨✨

[@seekingsnowflakes]

These recipes are so creative!! I love the stuffed savoy cabbage recipe - definitely one to try at home :D

[@Gittemary]

It is SO satisfying to roll out the savoy hehe, and the texture is amazing 💚💚

[@racheljames9187]

It's strange watching overseas low waste videos from Australia, as the way items are available in supermarkets overseas seems far more random than you'd expect just based on climate and proximity to growing areas. Here in Tasmania we can get loose ginger root (it's grown in Queensland) but other fresh herbs are virtually always in plastic. It is very hard to get grapes, all types of berries and cherry tomatoes without plastic, but for other items they're usually available loose (although the bulk plastic packaged option is almost always cheaper). I don't think I've ever NOT been able to get plastic free onions, potatoes and garlic.

[@igeorgoudi]

Latey when I shop in the supermarket I tend to look for glass containers with food instead of plastic. That way I can keep the glass container and buy something bulk. I just need to remember to take my fabric fridge bags for vegies so I can eliminated the use of paper bags , apart from plastic bags ( those I never use, I use reusable bags). This video is very informative and it has given me some new ideas.

[@გვანცადუდუნია]

thank you so much

[@mollyhanna9783]

I love this elevated food! So inspiring for holiday parties

[@gwenaelleB]

You have to try risotto celeri ! Cut in litle bite, like rice. Cook with oignon, herb and garlic and add oat milk like you cook risotto. The best thing ever

[@wendy-zarate]

Tofu in glass. I have never been able to find tofu in packaging other than a plastic box or plastic film wrapping. Amazing!

[@sisterclp]

I will definitely try celery steaks now. I had the same obsession with baked cauliflower a while ago, haha. ... Last week I went to Hamburg and had cauliflower wings at a vegan korean restaurant, I can't stop talking about those 😍😁

[@micivalantincic8227]

Can you please do a video on comparing the prices from a zero plastic store and a super market? Where I live I can't afford to shop in our plastic free store. Like a kilo of rice is 7€ !and packed in plastic in Aldi is 1€. So it makes me sad that it seemsed to be only for the rich. Also the detergents for clothing, shampoo and soap are crazy expensive. I know that something natural and bio is more expensive but I now buy cleaning tablets and they are so affordable. Is this the case in other countries? Also-can you do an impact video for tomatoes? I watched a documentary that showed HORRIBLE conditions for the workers in Italy (I remebered it cause it was the Mutti brand). They are over worked, foren workers. Underpayed and live in terrible conditions. I don't think many people know about it

[@Gittemary]

Things like flour and rice I also don’t buy in bulk shops, because I have cardboard and paper packaged options available and they are cheaper. Pasta and spices etc I do buy in bulk, but the price for spices isn’t that much higher luckily 🌿 And that’s a really good idea for a video!

[@theresalwayssomethingtobui944]

I only eat celery as puree - but with coconut milk ;) Otherwise, I'm baffeled by your enthusiasm for celery! In a fun way!

[@Szynszula]

is bulk onion something unusual in Denmark? I'm living in Poland witch is a country of potatoes and onions and most of veggies are plastic free in most supermarkets. Sometimes they are packaging pepper in foil so you can buy 1pc of yellow, green and red. So when there is a mix of veggies of some kind they are packaged in plastic but other than that everything is plastic free

[@lokimpo6628]

I love this serie!! I don't live in Denmark but it's so interesting

What vegan cream do you recommend for your pasta dishes? Wonderful video as always.

I use an oat-based cream, just always make sure it doesn’t boil, that can mess with the texture ☺️

i bought the same mayonnaise couple of weeks ago and it wasnt that good... and then i found out that the company is owned by Unilever... i just wanted you to know if you didnt check the back of the jar, same as i didnt

[@Gittemary]

This is low key the only mayo I like haha, and I don’t always have time to make it from scratch, so this is a compromise I am making once in a while

[@dorisdelonga3713]

oh yeah thats ok... i mean i dont have a wider choice in my country when buying mayonnaise, thats why I bought it but have some substitutes that are not imported but produced in my country :)

[@jennimckean3697]

We can't recycle tetrapaks in my area 😅 we drink oat milk so have to put it in the black bin 😭 we're unable to make our own

[@kat_thefruitbat]

It’s so strange and frustrating how bulk sweets have been around for decades, yet the ability to buy anything else in bulk started catching on only recently and is still unavailable in most areas. 😒 I also tend to overdo it with particular recipes or foods that I really love 😂 I went all last year and the year before without having any brussel sprouts because I ate them (roasted) soooo frequently the year before 🙃 Finally revisited them this year once they were in season, and I’m happy to say that my taste for them is back (and I don’t plan on ruining that again!!) 😅 An impact analysis on canned vs. glass might be interesting? I wonder what the recycling process is for cans that have a plastic lining on the inside. You would think that they wouldn’t be accepted by curbside recycling services since they’re made up of mixed materials, so I wonder why this isn’t the case for cans. 🤔

[@Gittemary]

I’ll definitely put cans va glass on the to do list for impact videos 😍

[@tashasmith1234]

What about buying in bulk? That seems like the way to go for minimizing packaging. Storing the items in the pantry so you don't have to go to the store as often.

[@william3496]

i'm wondering how different the impact of plastic packaged ecological vegetables vs unpackaged "regular" vegetables is? like what has a bigger impact? cause in my experience ecologic vegetables often come in plastic packaging of different sorts...

[@Gittemary]

I have a whole impact video about conventional veggies without plastic vs organic veggies in plastic, which explain the pros and cons ☺️🌿

[@MrRKWRIGHT]

Good afternoon Gittlemary. Excellent video with superb production values and inspiring content. But that's to be expected from a creative and sustainability and eco-conscious woman such as yourself who prefers shopping for items in glass containers, rather than clogging up the wastestream with plastic bottles. That being said, everything looks healthy and delicious especially that cabbage soup with the cabbage you bought from the local Farmers' Market. Also, I'm certainly going to try that celery tuna dough - what a combination. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful weekend. 😊

[@judithrussell9162]

I believe that’s celeriac that you’re eating, not celery. Much more adaptable to recipes.

[@Gittemary]

Also just called celery root ☺️

[@dorisw5558]

Don’t know about Danish, but in German the word Sellerie (Celery) is used for both the green variety and the root. I can only guess it’s the same in Denmark. Actually the green stalky variety is a relatively „new“ (a couple of decades) food in stores here whereas the root has been around for centuries.

Tomato cans come from Italy and you live in Denmark. I mean. The package could be sustainable but not local.

[@Gittemary]

Fun fact, buying tomatoes from Italy or Spain have a lower impact (shipping included) than growing them locally in greenhouses in Denmark. I eat loads of seasonal foods as well tho

[@raigdefoc]

@@Gittemary fun fact Spain also have GreenHouses and really bad salaries.

[@julia7219]

I live in Denmark, but I grew up in another country, and I will forever be frustrated and confused about how many stores here package their vegetables and fruit in plastic. Not only is it inconvenient (for example, by forcing me to buy 1kg of something, when I actually only need much less) but also so incredibly wasteful! Especially since it's usually "soft" plastic, which ends up in general trash. I think considering Denmark invests so much in green and sustainable energy and architecture, this kind of waste is just really sad and unnecessary.

[@neta565]

Its not celery, but celeriac.😉

I'm 58 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, we are finding it impossible to replace it. We can get by, but cant seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 40years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for
