Tag: Health benefits of celery

With over 95% water content, celery is famous for being a low-calorie, hydrating vegetable. However, it does contain some carbohydrates and natural sugars, though in very minimal amounts. This makes it an ideal option for those watching their carb intake.

According to studies, fresh raw celery typically has a pH ranging from 5.7 to 6.0, classifying it as slightly acidic. Despite this technical classification, many refer to celery as an 'alkalizing' food because of its high water content and mineral composition that can produce an alkaline-forming effect on the body after digestion.
