Celery

4 Aug. 2010 - This may not rock your world, but I just found out that celery has so called "negative calories", that is eating it burns more energy than the vegetable contains. Now how about that? Unfortunately, I am not too keen on celery. When raw, the high-fibre vegetable has a bright, fresh and distinctive crunch, but strong taste. When cooked, the flovor becomes milder and the texture softer. Celery maybe goes best into a Waldorf salad, because the flavor mixes well with the slices of apple, halved grapes, walnuts and raisins. It can be delicious, especially if the mayonnaise is lightened by mixing in some yoghurt. One could even add slices of poaches chicken.
