Cleaning Celery (Destringing)

I have a question. I am wondering how to remove the rind from celery. The part of the celery that is hard to bite or chew because of the stands of rind (what I call the string part of celery). There is a way to remove this part of the celery but I am not sure how to do it. Can anyone tell me how or what they might think.

Thank you,

Or you can 'snap' the celery stalks not quite all the way through and pull one side to peel the strings off the back of it. The pull the dangling strings off the other half. I do this first to remove the tough heavy strings and then touch up any bits I've missed using a kitchen knife and my thumb to nip the strings and peel them off.

Just use your vegetable peeler on the back of the celery.

I saw this on a cooking show........Yeah Food channels!!

I use a serrated-edge knife, such as a steak knife, to get the strings off my celery. Then I wash any remaining strings off under the cold-water faucet.

Cut across the base of the stalk just above where it joined the base. Using the flat side of your knife you can lift several strings at once and pull upward toward the top of the stalk. You can de-string one stalk in two or three such strokes.
