Free Celery Follow Up video. Amazing results!
In this follow up to my last video about growing celery for free, I show you how my transplants have come along. We now have lots of GREEN healthy celery that has that fresh celery flavor you just can't get from the store.
Celery is so healthy for you. If you have never tasted fresh organic celery that is dark green, then you have never really tasted celery. Some health benefits of celery are:
Cancer prevention-
The antioxidants in celery include well-known varieties such as flavonoids and vitamin C, as well as lunularin and bergapten. They help cancel out natural chemicals in your body called free radicals that can harm cells and lead to cancer and other diseases.
Blood pressure management-
Celery is rich in a plant compound called phthalide. This phytochemical relaxes your artery walls to help blood flow and to lower your blood pressure.
Celery is a good source of vitamins:
Vitamin A
Vitamin C
Vitamin K
Potassium
Folate
Calcium
Celery is a vegetable that belongs to the Apiaceae family, which also includes carrots, parsnip, fennel, parsley, and cumin. Celery was first grown in the Mediterranean and the Middle East, and it's been used as both food and medicine for centuries. There is even a wild celery grown in the Zagros Mountains of Iran that is so treasured that the villagers have armed guards protecting it during growing season.
Celery is not native to North America and was not present here until the 1800s. So consider yourself lucky that now you can simply go to the market and get some. And now, with these two videos, you can grow your own celery from the parts you normally don't even use. Let me know if you have tried this and how your results were. Good luck!
