Celery
What it is
Celery is a vegetable. The table describes raw celery, rather than celery juice, celery seed, a concentrated extract, or celery salt.
What it does
The USDA reference contains 95.4 g of water, 1.6 g of fiber, and 260 mg of potassium per 100 g. It also contains 80 mg of sodium on that basis. The food's profile includes several components; it is not simply water or a single mineral.
Research context and ingredient forms
These figures describe raw celery. They do not establish that celery juice has the same fiber content or that celery has a detoxification treatment effect.
Using this information
Use the edible raw portion for the table. A strained juice needs a juice-specific record, and a soup needs a recipe calculation that includes broth and salt. Celery salt should not be evaluated with the raw-vegetable sodium figure.
