Golden Tips

• Celery is known as a "salty" vegetable, and is a natural addition to any dish when trying to avoid sodium intake.
• Feel free to use the leaves in your celery recipe as they're very high in nutrients. However, use them quickly, as they tend to lost their verve for life after 2-3 days.
• Although celery can be found year-round in the markets, it is most fresh in the summer months when it's in season.
• Because of it's high water content, it's excellent for those watching their weight. However, because of its high water content, it tends to wilt quickly. If your celery has wilted, sprinkle it with a little fresh water and place it in the refrigerator for several hours where it will regain its crispness. This technique works for most veggies.
