Celery is 94% water and is considered a great diet food. Celery is considered a difficult crop to grow, but isn't, though this explains why it is not often found in home gardens. Celery as food doesn't show up in the literary record until the 16th century. While blanching does retard nutrient buildup, it helps remove the bitterness in celery.
