Celery is a type of leafy vegetable and medicinal plant with a distinctive aroma, commonly used as a seasoning or culinary garnish.
In Indonesia, celery leaves are often finely chopped and sprinkled over meatball soup or chicken porridge.
I like to add celery in my meal.

It really does. You do not need much of it either. A little can add quite a lot of flavour to a meal.

That is how I feel about it too. I would not go out of my way to eat it alone, but in certain dishes it really works well.

@septabchips A great thing about celery is that it can absorb excess oil and stabilize blood pressure.

That is true. I like the fact that you can add it to a meal without having to do much with it first.

I can understand that. Celery has quite a distinctive taste, so I suppose it is one of those vegetables you either enjoy or do not really care for.

I used to eat it a lot when I was younger. I had some a few weeks ago for the first time in years .. there is only me that likes it so I usually find I can't eat it all before it goes soft . Although I recently was told you can freeze it.

@nawala123 I do keep it in the fridge, and also wrapped but I still can't eat it all before it goes off. There is only me at home to eat it and I don't have it every day

I like celery too, especially when it is added to a meal rather than eaten on its own. It gives food a nice fresh taste and a bit of crunch. I have never tried it in meatball soup though, so now I am curious about that.
