Incomparable and Versatile Celery

For those counting calories and looking for a thirst quencher, celery fills the bill. Celery should squeak when lightly squeezed when fresh. Also, look for a softer green color which indicates more sweet and less stingy. Less than 100 calories in a whole stalk, I suggest using celery in as many recipes as possible, such as soups, stir-frys, salads, stews and relish trays.
