Celery leaves and stems contain volatile mannitol, which has a unique aroma, can enhance appetite, and also has health care effects.
Celery is very rich in nutrients. According to measurements, 100 grams of celery contains 2.2 grams of protein, 8.5 mg of calcium, 61 mg of phosphorus, and 8.5 mg of iron. The protein content is twice as high as that of ordinary fruits and vegetables, and the iron content is about 20 times that of tomatoes. Celery is also rich in carotene and multiple vitamins, which are very beneficial to human health.
It is worth mentioning that many families only eat stems and not leaves when eating celery, which is extremely unscientific. Because the nutrients in celery leaves are much higher than those in celery stems, nutritionists have tested 13 nutrient components on celery stems and leaves and found that 10 indicators in celery leaves exceed the stems. Among them, the carotene content in the leaves is 88 times that of the stems; the vitamin C content is 13 times that of the stems; the vitamin B1 is 17 times that of the stems; the protein is 11 times that of the stems; and the calcium is more than 2 times that of the stems. It can be seen that the nutritional value of celery leaves cannot be ignored.
