CELERY 101 WHY?It is naturally sweeter and cripspier than other celery brands.

Celery is a wonderfully flavorful and nutritious vegetable and is an American household staple. Aside from its clean, green color, celery is most known for its crunch – adding texture and sound to any meal of the day.

When selecting celery at the grocery store, you should look to ensure that the stalks are without blemish and that the leaves are green and hearty. Celery is best when it is used within 7 days of purchase.
