Celery is Deceptively Rich in Phytonutrients

Did you know that celery was not eaten as a food until the mid-1600s? Today it is touted for its 'negative calories'. Some people think that you burn more calories chewing and digesting celery than it actually supplies! While that is wishful thinking, there are still many advantages to celery, mainly its richness in phytonutrients. Just 2 medium stalks provide you with 1.2 gm of fiber, Vitamin K, Vitamin C, Folate, Calcium, Potassium, Sodium, and Phosphorus; and those are the notable nutrients! There are thousands of other nutrients in celery that we either don't know about or do not have the technology to measure.
