Density 85 · -8 vs Vegetables medianCeleriac lands a score of 85 out of 100, a Strong result, though it still ranks 39 of 60 vegetables, well below the vegetable category's typical score of 93. The raw root has no standout nutrients flagged, so its strength here comes mainly from a low calorie, low sodium profile rather than any single nutrient spike. At 42 calories per 100 grams, with 9.2 grams of carbohydrate, 1.8 grams of fiber and 100 milligrams of sodium, it's a light, carb-forward root.
Peeled and grated raw, celeriac brings a peppery, celery-like crunch to remoulade and slaws, or it roasts well alongside other root vegetables. A cup weighs about 156 grams, and per 100 grams it carries just 1.6 grams of sugar and 1.5 grams of protein, a mild filler rather than a sweet or protein-rich one. Because its score trails the vegetable median by a wide margin, cooks wanting a denser vegetable might reach for raw parsnips or raw eggplant instead.
