As a discerning health seeker, I can’t help but get really excited about celery and its myriad of health benefits. It has a distinctive, tangy crunch that adds a refreshing depth to salads, whilst easily earning a five star thumbs-up as the perfect finger food. Celery also works wonders as a natural scoop for dips, pates and nut butters. And you’ll often find it as an ingredient in soups and stews, to bring a tasty base flavour to various culinary creations.

An unexpected bonus for anyone watching their weight is that it’s ridiculously low in calories, with scientists going as far as saying that chewing it uses up more energy than the vegetable itself contains!
