Celery
Celery has refreshing and distinctive flavor. The flavor of celery is most intense in leaves and outer stalks. The bulk of celery is eaten used in salads and soups. Celery is traditionally an ingredient in poultry stuffing. It is frequently used for stir-fries in Asian cuisine. In Europe, people often braise the stalks in meat broth. Because of its high water content, celery goes well with other flavors, without losing its distinctive contribution to the seasoning of a dish. Celery is a good source of Vitamin C, potassium, folate, and dietary fiber. It also contains manganese and several other trace minerals needed for healthy human enzyme functioning.
