Celery is a versatile and nutritious vegetable that belongs to the same family as carrots and parsley. It has a long, fibrous stalk that is light green in colour and is topped with dark green leaves. Its crunchy texture and slightly salty taste make it a great addition to salads, soups, stir-fries, and dips.

It is low in calories and high in fiber, making it an ideal snack for those who want to maintain a healthy diet. It's also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin K, vitamin C, folate, and potassium.

Storage tip: Keep it whole, wrap it in aluminum foil, and store it in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator. The vegetable will lose less moisture when kept whole for as long as possible, and the foil should be tight enough that moisture can’t escape, but not so tight that it crumples the stalks.
