Selecting, storing & prepping celery
- Selecting
- Choose crisp, tightly packed stalks that snap rather than bend, with fresh, unwilted leaves if attached.
- Storing
- Keeps about 1–2 weeks refrigerated. Wrapping the whole bunch in foil, rather than a plastic bag, lets out the ethylene gas it releases and noticeably extends its crispness. Best used in cooked dishes if frozen, since raw texture turns limp.
- Prepping
- The tough, stringy fibers running along each stalk peel away easily with a vegetable peeler if a recipe calls for a smoother texture.

Key metrics
Nutrient density
Per 100 kcal, celery delivers about 5% of a Daily Value on average across 22 beneficial nutrients. The score is its percentile for that measure among the 177 foods in our database — higher means more nutrition per calorie. How this is calculated.
Density counts protein, fiber, and vitamins and minerals (not fat, sodium, or sugar), each capped so a single nutrient can’t dominate, with a calorie floor so very-low-calorie foods aren’t overstated. It measures nutrition per calorie within our database — a useful guide, not a complete verdict on how “healthy” a food is.
