It's composed of 95% water and is packed with nutrients like vitamin K, potassium, and folate. Celery is low in calories, making it a popular choice for healthy snacking or adding flavor to soups and stews. Beyond its culinary uses, celery offers impressive health benefits. It contains antioxidants that protect cells from damage and anti-inflammatory compounds that may help reduce chronic inflammation. Additionally, celery supports digestion with its high water content and fiber. Celery can be made as: 1. Raw Snacks: Enjoy celery sticks with dips like hummus, peanut butter, or cream cheese. A classic snack is "ants on a log," where you spread peanut butter on celery and top it with raisins. 2. Soups and Stews: Celery adds flavor and texture to broths, soups, and stews. It's often part of a mirepoix (a mix of celery, onions, and carrots) used as a base for many dishes. 3. Salads: Chop celery into salads for a refreshing crunch. It pairs well with apples, walnuts, and a tangy vinaigrette. 4. Juicing: Blend celery into a juice for a hydrating and nutrient-packed drink. You can combine it with apples, ginger, or lemon for added flavor. 5. Cooking: Use celery in stir-fries, casseroles, or as a stuffing ingredient. It also works well in braised dishes alongside carrots and potatoes. 6. Seasoning: Dehydrate celery leaves and grind them into a powder to use as a seasoning or make celery salt. 7. Pickling: Pickled celery makes a tangy addition to sandwiches or charcuterie boards.
