Dieting Delilah - I help diet

I simply love this vegetable. Not only that it tastes really good, it is low in calories, high in vitamines and can be enjoyed in different delicious variations.

Even celery seeds can be used - as flavouring. Ever heard of celery salt? This is simply celery seeds or extracts from the celery root mixed with salts. I have baught one lately and I must say it really tastes good.

Medicine also recognizes celery as relieving pain and helping against inflammation. Seems like the perfect vegetable, doesn't it?

Well there is ONE problem with celery, which is that some people believe that it is difficult to digest. Personally speaking I have never had digestion problems from celery that I was aware of, so I will keep on eating it.

Another benefit of celery: it is available all year round, so you can cook delicious celery dishes every month. I am a big fan of soups! My mother used to make celery soup very often when I was younger and I somehow found the recipe again. Here you find a recipe that is quite similar. Try it out!

If you are not in the mood for soup there are various delicious ways in which you can enjoy your celery: celery salads, celery sandwiches, raw celery sticks with dips, celery juice, stuffed celery, celery and chicken,....I could continue this list forever.

Another good list of delicious celery recipes can be found here.

So try this fantastic vegetables and tell me about your favourite celery recipes!

Yours Delilah
