What is this food?
AI-assisted Boiled celery (Chinese celery) — the stalks plus some leaves (lvs & petioles), served as a vegetable.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted Celery is a low-calorie veggie (about 27 kcal per 100 g) and helps you add volume to meals without taking too much space in your plate. It also provides dietary fiber (about 2 g per 100 g), which supports regular digestion and helps you feel satisfied. The sodium is relatively moderate for a vegetable (about 108 mg per 100 g), so it’s still best to watch how salty the dish becomes when you add sauces. You’ll also get some natural sugars (about 2.9 g), but these come along with fiber—so it’s a good choice for everyday meals and snacks when paired with balanced foods.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted - Use celery as a side or add-on to your ulam (e.g., with chicken, fish, or tofu) to increase fiber and freshness.
- For a balanced day: aim for 3 full meals plus 1–2 snacks; include veggies like celery at least in 1–2 meals.
- Keep sauces light: go easy on soy sauce, oyster sauce, and instant seasoning to manage sodium.
- Try portioning: start with about 1 cup cooked (or a generous handful) and adjust based on your appetite and the rest of your meal.
