potassium. Thats because one serving of celery has 10% of the potassium our bodies

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.
