Celery

About
As much a household staple as onions or potatoes, celery is valued for its crisp texture and distinctive flavor. It is widely used as an appetizer, a salad ingredient, and a flavorful addition to many cooked dishes. A bunch or head of celery is made up of individual stalks or ribs. Celery hearts refer to the most tender, innermost ribs. Celery is naturally crisp due to the rigidity of the plant's cell walls and the high water content within the cells. In fact, celery is mostly water and therefore exceptionally low in calories.
