GOODNESS
 Celery:
Celery isn't just for Bloody Marys, although that's as close as many people get to this healthful veggie. Celery may have been used as a hangover cure in ancient Rome, but its real power lies in its ability to lower blood pressure and to keep your weight under control. If you have either of these problems (and they often travel together) you could do worse than grabbing a stalk of celery to chew on.

Celery Seed:
No, it doesn't come from celery, that would be too easy. These tiny seeds come from the smallage plant,
an unpleasant and somewhat poisonous plant. Nevertheless, the seeds are fresh-tasting and go well with tomatoes.
They also belong in soups, pickles and find their way into cheese, eggs and salad dressings. |
