Keeping celery fresh in the refrigerator is so easy (a lot like freezing vegetables, which is also really simple if you know the proper way to do it). You don’t need pricey bio-bags involved, and you won’t have to to buy any weird humidifying devices for your refrigerator. In fact you only need three things — one of which, incidentally, is celery itself.

Instructions
Separate the celery stalks and give them a good rinse. Use a sharp knife to remove the root end and leaves. Cut stalks into roughly 6-inch lengths.
Take a paper towel and run it under the tap. Wring out as much water as you can from the paper towel. You do not want it to be super wet. Unwrinkle the paper towel so it's flat.
Place the celery stalks in the zip-top bag, then slide the paper towel into the bag, on top of the celery. Seal the bag and leave a little corner of the bag unsealed to allow airflow.
Your celery should keep this way for up to two weeks. If you notice your celery changing color, like developing pink or black spots, it's past its prime and should be tossed.
