Celery, boiled in unsalted water

Celery is a vegetable whose stems can be eaten cooked. The figures here describe celery sliced and boiled in unsalted water. It consists mainly of water, with small amounts of carbohydrate and fibre. Per 100g, it provides 97g of water, 21 kJ of energy, 0.8g of fibre and 170mg of potassium.

Potassium helps nerves and muscles function normally, while fibre supports normal bowel function. Although no salt is added during boiling, celery contains naturally occurring sodium, which is included in the salt value. Added salt, sauces or butter would change the nutritional content of the finished dish. Full nutritional figures are provided in the tables below.
