Vegetable
Monarch
A tier
Monarch is a widely grown celeriac with large, solid white-fleshed knobs and reliable field performance—workhorse quality for soup factories and fresh bins. Flavour is classic celery-root savoury; texture purees smoothly when not woody from age. Tops are vigorous. Bulk soup, mash, and roast. A production name more than a boutique heirloom story. Peel deeply; size can mean more fissures to clean.
