Density 93 · +0 vs Vegetables median

Celery scores 93 of 100, an Elite band that ranks it 30th of 60 vegetables, a result built almost entirely on how little it costs calorically: just 14 calories per 100 g, with no single nutrient standing out enough to register among its top values.

It is eaten raw as a crunchy snack or dipping vessel, or cooked down as an aromatic base for soups and stocks alongside onion and carrot. A typical NLEA serving is 110 g, roughly two medium stalks, though on its own celery contributes little in the way of protein, fat or micronutrient density beyond its low calorie count.
