Celery is a versatile vegetable known for its crunchy texture and mild, refreshing flavor. Native to the Mediterranean region, celery has been cultivated for centuries in cuisines worldwide, from soups and stews to snacks and salads. It is low in calories, with around 10 calories per stalk, and provides dietary fiber that supports digestion. Packed with essential nutrients, celery contains vitamins A, C, and K, as well as folate and potassium. It boasts antioxidants like apigenin and luteolin, which help combat inflammation and support overall health. Celery is also hydrating, consisting of about 95% water, making it a great choice for maintaining fluid balance. However, its sodium content, while naturally occurring, can be high in certain varieties, so moderation is advised for individuals monitoring salt intake. With its crisp bite and nourishing profile, celery is both a flavorful and health-conscious addition to any meal.
