But some of us have a bad habit of throwing away celery leaves and eating only the stem part of celery, why so? Many people, in fact, do not know the reason, may think that celery leaves are garbage, no nutrition, tasteless, and even harmful. Therefore, many people also follow the trend not to eat celery leaves, do not know that this is a loss to their own. These people do not eat celery leaves, probably based on the following reasons, and even the reasons are more ridiculous. First, the taste of celery leaves is not good, because the leaves contain bitter ingredients and low moisture, if you do not get rid of the leaves will affect the overall taste and flavor. Second, the nitrite content in celery leaves is much higher than the content in stems, and nitrite is carcinogenic. So people can only discard the leaves for the sake of health, even more nutrition in the leaves. Third, bad customs, because the aroma of celery has the effect of repelling insects, but also has a certain antiseptic effect. In the past, when people died, they had to rest at home for seven days, there was no ice coffin and no embalming agent, so the corpse was easy to putrefy and attract insects. For will repel insects, and the use of celery, but because of the use of the whole celery, and too wasteful to spare, choose to use only celery leaves to embalm the dead to repel insects, so for celery leaves, there is some taboo. In fact, the nutritional value of celery leaves is very rich. Celery leaves have nearly two times more apigenin than celery stems. Among them, celery leaves contain much higher protein, vitamins and other nutrients than in celery stems. So in the future, we have to change our bad habits and try to accept celery leaves, and also by the way, to do justice to celery leaves, so that they can also really come to our table and become our delicious.
