I have read that celery contains almost no calories, unless it is covered in dip. Then the dip is ruined by the awful taste of celery. What was Mother Nature thinking when she came up with celery???

Celery is an essential in any Italian food..
Celery, Onion and Carrot make a Soffrito which is the base of 99% of Italian food...
If you've had a bolognese or lasagne that didn't quite taste so good it's because it didn't have a good soffrito.. Also used in soups, risottos, anything..
Used massively in any Mediterranean food and beyond.
Then over in the US you have Cajun food, which uses the trinity of celery, green pepper and onion.
It's vital and one of the most used vegetables on earth (even if you don't know it)..
Essential produce to have - I go through at least 2 full heads a week.

It depends on what you're looking for. Celery has some nutritional value (but not much). However, if you're on a diet, it may be interesting to know that it takes up more calories to eat this stuff than what it contains!

All raw foods contain micronutrients which are essential to health and celery is also quite high in vegetable fibre which we don't get enough of in a western diet so in terms of calorific value no point but healthwise very much so

Celery goes well with chicken. There is no point in eating it if you are just interested in surviving. Study Ray Mears instead. he does a mean acorn porridge which is full of goodness and calories

Celery is the salad vegetable of the devil!! Even the smell of it turns my stomach. I cannot comprehend how anyone can eat it. It is about the only thing that I really cannot eat under any circumstances.
Rant over !!

My boyf loves snacking on raw Celery and it really annoy's me a) 'cause I hate the taste on his breath and b) 'cause I then have nothing to bulk out my soup, bolognaise, or dinner in general with.
Amen to the Acorns!!!

There are people who actually like the taste of celery. i like the crunchiness of it if it's raw. you can also make a rather delicious soup with it. and it's also a very good base for stews and carsseroles like onions and carrots are.

What would you serve with Buffalo wings then? Plus it has fiber and ads crunch to salads. It's radishes that are gross and have no purpose.
