Organic Celery Juice from Celery Stalks

Celery juice: organic direct juice for tapping

Anyone who wants to drink celery juice regularly for the sake of their health has had a few hurdles to overcome. After all, the effort to get from the shelf to fresh celery juice is not exactly small. First, the celery has to be bought fresh all the time - because it takes a few stalks to fill a jar. Then there is the process of pressing and finally the cleaning of the press. All of this is a bit daunting, and you think twice about drinking fresh celery juice. 

 A great solution: direct juice from the bag-in-box beverage carton. The airtight and dark protective packaging preserves the full-bodied flavor of the celery juice in premium organic quality. In addition, the juice can be freshly tapped every morning in just a few steps and can even be kept unrefrigerated for 3 months after opening - ideal even for those who do not own a juicer at all but would still like to drink celery juice. The packaging itself takes up very little space and can be folded up and disposed of in the waste paper after removing the foil inside. But why is it worthwhile to enjoy the juice regularly anyway?

Really healthy or just a trend?

Since the author Anthony Williams started the trend, it is considered an absolute must-have in the USA: celery juice. Daily it is to be drunk and best in the morning on empty stomach - in North America, one comes hardly more past at the beverage and long the wave reached also Germany. But what can the juice do and is it really as good as its reputation? We say: Yes! And we'll tell you why.

1. Celery juice is low in calories: water and nutrients - that's all celery juice contains. An optimal thirst quencher that replenishes nutrient reserves at the same time. And a great alternative to fruit juices, where you ingest sugar with every sip. Although this is natural fructose, too much of it can still put a strain on your health and calorie balance. 

 2. Celery juice is easier to digest: celery juice contains all the nutrients of celery stalks - and the stalks have quite a few of them. At the same time, the body absorbs these nutrients better in the form of juice. Because: Here they are present in a more easily usable form - the stalks do not have to be broken down. 

 3. Celery juice contains a lot of water: water contributes to the maintenance of normal physical and cognitive functions and to the maintenance of normal regulation of body temperature. Reason enough to keep an eye on water balance. The aroma of the juice can, on the one hand, facilitate fluid intake and, on the other hand, help to consume more vegetables.

Versatile and delicious: Three possible uses

Celery juice not only provides you with the nutrients of celery and water - but it also brings more zest and variety to your diet and doesn't always have to be drunk straight. Try the following three ideas, for example!

In the smoothie
Brings that certain something extra to your smoothie. Harmonizes with ginger and apple, for example.

For cooking
Excellent for seasoning various dishes and especially tasty in soups.

For cocktails
A delight in cocktails with or without alcohol. Gladly mix with cucumber juice, lime juice, and vanilla.

 

Nutrients and more: what you should know about celery

To this day, celery is used primarily for one purpose: as a seasoning vegetable in soups and stews. Too bad, because the stalks can do so much more! Although celery consists largely of water, it still possesses - whether eaten pure or pressed into juice - an astonishing number of valuable nutrients.

These include:

• Vitamins
• Minerals
• Trace elements
• Dietary fiber
• Essential oils
• Secondary plant substances

All in all, it can be said that celery is one of the most valuable vegetables of all and is unfortunately completely underestimated. How healthy it really is was already known by past cultures such as the ancient Egyptians and Romans as well as ancient Greeks. Stalks and tubers also play an important role in traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda.

 

Important: In order to benefit maximally, the celery should on the one hand come from organic cultivation and on the other hand not be overstocked. Conventionally grown, the nitrate content may be increased. Celery is not recommended for people who are allergic to birch pollen or mugwort pollen. Here, a cross allergy may occur - approach slowly and pay attention to possible reactions.
