People who have eaten celery must know the taste of celery very well. The taste of celery leaves may be much worse than that of celery stems. Celery stems have a slight salty taste, which is also due to the fact that celery stems contain a part of sodium salt, which is equivalent to about 0.4 grams of salt in 100 grams of celery stems, so celery stems will taste better. Especially after the green leaves are fried, it feels like eating grass. Not only is it very difficult to swallow when chewed, but the celery itself is very rich in flavor, especially the green leaves, so this is also an unacceptable reason for many people.

In fact, celery leaves are not useless, and what is even more surprising is that most of the nutrients in celery leaves are higher than celery stems, such as dietary fiber, protein, various vitamins and trace elements and minerals, which are much higher than celery stems. Many people think that celery stalk is a good vegetable for relieving blood pressure, but in fact, the content of potassium in celery leaves is very high, which is more conducive to blood pressure control. Moreover, research data prove that proper supplementation of potassium can really reduce blood pressure to a certain extent. As mentioned in the above article, the content of sodium in celery stems is higher than that in celery leaves, and too much sodium intake may have adverse effects on health, so in order to control blood pressure reasonably, we should not only control the intake of sodium, but also supplement potassium appropriately, and celery leaves are really good. Of course, in addition to the rich potassium in the leaves of green vegetables, potatoes, bananas, peanuts, dairy products and so on, which are common in our lives, are also very rich in potassium.
