Why it pays off to include celery in your diet

Celery is not just a vegetable for gourmets. This unassuming root hides a range of health benefits and can enrich your diet with valuable nutrients and taste experiences. Read on to find out why celery should not be missing from your plate and how to easily incorporate it into your daily diet.

The delightful aroma and delicate taste of celery can enhance any dish. In its raw state, you can combine it with fruit – for example, with apples. You can also create a delicious soup cream or spread from it. But did you know that this root vegetable is also exceptionally healthy?

Celery is a reservoir of many important substances such as potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, and zinc. It also contains plenty of vitamins, especially B1-thiamine, B2-riboflavin, B6-pyridoxine, and further vitamins C, E, and K.

It can effectively alleviate digestive issues. It disinfects the mucous membranes in the mouth and nasopharynx, has antibacterial effects on the kidneys, strengthens nerves and the brain, helps regulate weight, affects bone health, reduces pain in arthritis, and also has anti-cancer effects. Celery juice also effectively protects the kidneys and gallbladder from stone formation.
