Just wanted to know, when eating celery sticks, is the fibrous part still in the mouth after chewing it all is worth eating? Or is it just more work for the body to digest and not more nutriments. Thanks Re: Celery

Vitamins: 57% Vit A 33% Vit C 9% Vit E 234% Vit K 9% Thiamin 21% Riboflavin 10% Niacin 24 B6 57% Folate 16% Pantothenic Acid Minerals: 26% Calcium 7% Iron 18% Magnesium 15% Phosphorus 48% Potassium 21% Sodium 6% Zinc 11% Copper 33% Manganese 4% Selenium 10.2 g Fiber 4.4 g Protein 22 g Carbs 1.1 g fat 611 g water Re: Celery

Date: March 16, 2008 01:34AM Bryan you must admit, though, that 100 calories of celery is alot. Its probably like 20+ stalks! I think he meant is it worthwile swallowing the fibre after you chew the hell out of it. I always juice my celery. Re: Celery

Date: March 16, 2008 01:44AM Its probably an entire celery plant (or a 1.5 pounds). I used to eat that much celery at a single meal when I was eating high greens. And occasionally nowadays I will eat an entire plant. By the way, the entire plant is called a stalk of celery. A single stem of celery is called a rib of celery. Re: Celery

Date: March 16, 2008 10:37AM I'm a big Fan of Celery. I juice the outer Ribs and usually eat the soft inner Ribs, but not always.
Thanks for the nutrition info Bryan. I read somewhere that the Sodium content equals the content of our Bones. It's a good way to get Sodium without having to eat Sea Vegetables, which are too 'Salty'.....IMHO. My Mother tells me she doesn't eat Celery because there's nothing in it. Now I have some 'ammo' for her......WY Re: Celery
