Celery, raw

Celery is a vegetable with edible stalks. The figures here describe raw celery stems, including those from whole heads, hearts and sticks, rather than the leaves. It consists mainly of water, with 95g per 100g, and provides 1.4g of carbohydrate, 1.5g of fibre and 304mg of potassium per 100g.

Fibre supports normal bowel function, while potassium helps nerves and muscles work normally. Raw celery contains little fat and has a low energy content. It also contains naturally occurring sodium, which is included in the salt figure and is worth noting when monitoring salt intake. Full nutritional figures are provided in the tables below.
