It also provides dietary fiber (about 2 g per 100 g), which supports regular digestion and helps you feel satisfied. The sodium is relatively moderate for a vegetable (about 108 mg per 100 g), so it\u2019s still best to watch how salty the dish becomes when you add sauces. You\u2019ll also get some natural sugars (about 2.9 g), but these come along with fiber\u2014so it\u2019s a good choice for everyday meals and snacks when paired with balanced foods.","healthier_tips":["Use celery as a side or add-on to your ulam (e.g., with chicken, fish, or tofu) to increase fiber and freshness.","For a balanced day: aim for 3 full meals plus 1\u20132 snacks; include veggies like celery at least in 1\u20132 meals.","Keep sauces light: go easy on soy sauce, oyster sauce, and instant seasoning to manage sodium.","Try portioning: start with about 1 cup cooked (or a generous handful) and adjust based on your appetite and the rest of your meal."]},"data_quality":{"source":"DOST-FNRI Philippine Food Composition Tables","source_code":"ph_fct","daily_values_reference":"RENI 2002","notes":["Values are estimates per 100g edible portion.","Actual nutrients may vary by preparation and variety."]},"links":{"self":"https:\/\/api.juanutrisyon.info\/api\/foods\/celery-chinese-lvs-petioles-boiled?agent=true"}}}
