Celery

A natural health food, celery provides fiber, folacin, potassium and vitamin C. A two-stalk serving contains 20 calories and has no cholesterol.

Celery is a great source of vitamin C. In fact, just 2 stalks of celery has 15% of the vitamin C our bodies need every day for good health.

Celery has other vitamins and minerals too. In fact, celery is also a good source of potassium. That’s because one serving of celery has 10% of the potassium our bodies need every day for good health. Way to go celery!

Good-quality celery should have even-colored, unblemished and smoothed-skinned stalks. Leaves should be fresh with no signs of wilting. Contrary to popular belief, light green stalks taste better than those that are dark green. Scratch the butt-end of the celery with your fingernail. A sweet or bitter smell means sweet or bitter flavor.
