What is this food?
AI-assisted Celery (Chinese celery) with its leaves and petioles—an everyday leafy-stem vegetable, usually eaten as part of viands, soups, or stir-fries.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted For every 100 g, it’s low in calories (37 kcal) and provides dietary fiber (3.5 g) to support regular digestion and help you feel satisfied in between meals. It also has some carbohydrates (5.4 g) but is generally light on sugar. Celery contributes small amounts of fat (0.6 g) and very little saturated fat (0.15 g). One thing to watch is sodium (151 mg), especially if it’s cooked with salty sauces (like soy sauce, oyster sauce, or instant soup bases).
Healthier tips
AI-assisted - Use celery as a volume vegetable for your 3 meals—add it to soups, stir-fries, and mixed viands to improve fiber and fullness without adding many calories.
- For snacks, pair it with a balanced option (e.g., a small serving of fruit or yogurt) rather than relying on salty celery-based sides.
- Go easy on salty seasonings: choose light sauce, add celery later so it stays crisp, and taste first before adding more soy sauce.
- If you’re watching sodium, consider using fresh herbs/garlic/ginger for flavor instead of extra seasoning.
