Celery sticks are the crunchy, green stalks of the celery plant, a versatile vegetable known for its mild and slightly peppery flavor. Originating in the Mediterranean, celery has been incorporated into various cuisines, including European, Asian, and American cooking, as a fresh snack or ingredient in soups, stews, and salads. Low in calories and naturally hydrating, celery sticks are an excellent source of dietary fiber, vitamin K, potassium, and antioxidants, which contribute to heart health, improved digestion, and inflammation reduction. Their high water content helps keep you hydrated while promoting satiety, making them a great option for healthy snacks or weight management. However, they are naturally low in macronutrients like protein and fat, so combining them with nutrient-rich dips such as hummus or peanut butter can increase their nutritional value. Celery is also sodium-rich in its raw form, making it a flavorful yet mindful choice for those watching salt intake.
