The water content of celery helps you stay hydrated, and with fibre’s help, it keeps your metabolism up and running, giving you loads of energy. If that wasn’t enough, you can rely on Vitamin B2 to give you a boost as it tackles the food in your belly, making sure you get all you can out of it. Potassium is the mobile network of your body. It makes sure that all your muscles and nerves are communicating properly, which is crucial for getting through all your daily tasks and activities.

Vitamin K is important for giving calcium a lift to where it needs to go in the body, so we can have strong bones. Vitamin A helps your vision and immune system fight off the baddies. What’s more, 5% of your daily Vitamin A needs can be met with just a stalk of celery! Vitamin C is on the case when it comes to bones, tissue, blood, and skin.

So a serving of celery is a pretty big deal. And with this hero in your diet, staying healthy is easy, especially when unlocking its nutritional benefits is as easy as taking a bite.

The superpowers of celery were discovered centuries ago, and the uses have evolved across cultures and countries since. From things like cleansing, preventing sickness, treating aches, and insomnia, all the way to being used as an aphrodisiac by the Romans, celery’s been kicking around for a long time.

Ancient Egyptians even used the celery plant for medicinal purposes, putting it in the tombs of Kings, namely Tutankhamen’s. While in ancient Greece, celery was used to make wreaths that crowned athletes and the winners of battles. The Italians introduced celery to their plates in time, and the French soon followed, adding celery to stews and soups. Now the whole world enjoys celery for its nutritious and delicious use in both food and drinks… and in the Celery Museum of Portage.
