Celery is a crisp, green vegetable commonly used in cooking and salads. It has long, fibrous stalks that grow in bunches and small leafy tops. Celery has a fresh, slightly peppery taste and a crunchy texture, especially when eaten raw. It is low in calories and high in water content, making it refreshing and hydrating. Celery also provides vitamins such as vitamin K and C, along with dietary fiber, and is often used to add flavor to soups, stews, and stir-fries
