What is Celery?
Celery is a crunchy, water-rich vegetable often used in salads, soups, and as a snack. It is a good source of vitamins K and C, potassium, and folate. However, for individuals following a low-FODMAP diet, it's crucial to monitor the serving size of celery, as it can be high in FODMAPs in larger quantities.
