Trimmed celery

Keep refrigerated

This wonderfully detoxing and hydrating vegetable does wonders for your body – and your tastebuds. Whether eaten raw to enjoy its palate-cleansing crunch, or diced and cooked to add an earthy base flavour to stews and casseroles, a bunch of celery stalks is a nutritious item to have in the fridge. When chopped into finger-sized pieces, fresh celery is handy for lunch boxes and the perfect partner for a dish of dips, while many have leapt on the trend for drinking celery juice to receive its various health benefits.
