Crunchy, refreshing, and oh-so-healthy - meet celery, nature's crisp wonder! Beyond its delightful crunch, celery packs a nutritional punch that your body will love. Low in calories and high in fiber, it's a guilt-free snack that supports digestion and keeps you feeling full.
Today, we will be preparing raw celery for freezing and later use. It cannot get more simple than this. Wash and dry your celery, cut it to desired size and put into a freezer bag or a plastic container, chuck it raw in the freezer for up to two months. Blanched version can keep frozen for up to a year, but I am preserving all that water as we are going through a major draught here in Barcelona at this moment.
The beauty in simplicity of this kitchen hack is that you don’t have to thaw celery before using it. Simply take it out of the freezer and use it like it is in your blender for in a smoothie, add it to a soup, stew and any other dish you are making.
Celery is a hydrating hero, with about 95% water content, helping you stay refreshed and promoting radiant skin. Packed with vitamins like K, C and A, as well as many other antioxidants, it's a powerhouse for immune support and overall well-being.
But that's not all! Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, celery may also help ease bloating and digestive function. It may support heart health, improve memory, help manage blood sugar and weight management. So, whether you're dipping it in hummus, adding it to salads, or enjoying it on its own, each crunchy bite of celery is a step towards a healthier, happier you. Snack smart, snack green! 🌿☀️ #celery #kitchenhacks #mealprep #homemade #recipe
