I love celery.
Did you know?
Celery is an athlete’s secret weapon. According to the Top 100 health Tips book, celery is full of goodness, of nutrients that keep energy level high. It is also high in Vitamin C and rather diuretic too. It has a high sodium content, not to worry it is far from being in dangerous level, which help in maintaining mineral balance in your body if you drink a lot of water.
Apparently celery is 95 percent water and it contains 7 calories per 100 grams. It is said that you actually burn more calories chewing on a celery.
CELERY is eaten with the fingers.
Vegetable: Celery
