Celery is an herbaceous plant native to Europe. For centuries it has been used as a medical plant, while today it is cultivated and consumed all over the world. The parts used are the younger leaves.

It is a vegetable rich in water, mineral salts, essential amino acids and vitamins (C, B6 and K).

Celery is one of the most appreciated foods also in detoxification diets, thanks to its lightness and few calories (only 16 per 100 grams of product), which make it a beneficial and light food.

Raw celery contains a large amount of fibers that controls hunger, performs a diuretic and purifying action, promotes digestion and is an excellent natural anti-inflammatory.
