About Diced celery

Celery, initially cultivated in the Mediterranean basin, is widely used in global cuisines, especially in soups, stews, salads, and as a base ingredient in mirepoix (a mix of onions, carrots, and celery). Nutritionally, celery is low in calories (about 14 kcal per 100g), with a high water content (95%), and provides small amounts of vitamins K, A, and C, as well as potassium and fiber. Its crisp texture and refreshing taste make it a versatile addition to healthy meals.
