I·DO organic celery juice

Whether raw as a snack, in sauces, soups, or as organic celery juice - hardly any vegetable is as versatile as celery. A distinction is made between celeriac and celery, although we only use organic green celery. Celery was only allowed to be grown as a vegetable in this country from the 18th century onwards. Before that, cultivation was reserved exclusively for monasteries, as the umbelliferous plant was considered a purely medicinal plant. But what makes celery and the organic celery juice made from it so special? We answer all the important questions.

Celery is a genus of flowering plants in the Apiaceae family. Although there are around 30 different types of celery, the most common variety in our region is "true celery." This is further divided into celeriac, leaf celery, and blanched celery. You might know the latter better as stalk celery – the typical light green stalk used in soups, juices, and other dishes.

When we talk about celery juice, we mean the liquid extracted from celery stalks, usually through cold pressing. We at I·DO also rely on this gentle method:
Since the food is never heated, temperature-sensitive substances like vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals are preserved. This ensures that our celery juice delivers its full benefits! Speaking of which…

Due to its high nutrient density and the vitamins it contains, celery juice is often touted as a miracle cure. The green power drink is said to help against a variety of health problems.

• Celery is particularly rich in potassium.

approximately 260 mg per 100 g. This essential element contributes, among other things, to maintaining the acid-base balance and plays an important role in the transmission of nerve impulses.

• Sodium also

It is essential for nerve impulses. It is also needed for heart rhythm and muscle function. Approximately 82 mg of it are contained in 100 g of celery.

• Beta-carotene

Provitamin A strengthens our cells and protects the immune system. It is particularly valuable because our bodies cannot produce it themselves. Consuming 100g of celery, for example as cold-pressed juice, provides the body with 270 µg.

• As a powerful antioxidant, vitamin C eliminates

It neutralizes free radicals and thus protects cells from damage. Furthermore, it is involved in many metabolic processes and is therefore a key component of a healthy diet. This umbelliferous plant contains approximately 3.1 mg of it.

• Vitamin K ,

of which approximately 29.3 µg are found in celery, it influences blood clotting and bone metabolism.

• Antioxidants ,

In addition, the delicious stalk contains many other antioxidants , vitamins and trace elements that make celery a beneficial nutrient booster.

Even though the effects of organic celery juice , as attributed to it by Anthony Williams, have not yet been scientifically proven, the many beneficial ingredients certainly speak in favor of consuming this green vegetable. As is so often the case, the effects on health must be tested individually. So simply try it and have your own celery juice experience.

If you believe the guru Anthony William, you should drink around 500 milliliters of celery juice every morning - on an empty stomach. This is the most effective way to achieve healing. But since we have already learned that William's views are not proven, this recommendation should not be set in stone as a guideline.

According to reports , large amounts of celery juice can cause detoxification symptoms such as nausea and stomach pain. We therefore recommend starting with a smaller amount, for example with our cold-pressed celery juice in the 240 ml bottle.

You can easily integrate celery juice into your daily diet – provided you don't have any allergies or are sensitive to the drink. Celery juice is also particularly well-suited for a juice cleanse or as a complement to intermittent fasting .

As is often the case in life, it is all about finding the right balance when it comes to nutrition. Because too much of a good thing often has negative effects. Even though the trendy green vegetable is basically healthy and harmless, drinking celery juice can cause side effects.

Firstly, celery contains allergens , more specifically oxalates, which can lead to health reactions such as skin rashes or gastrointestinal problems. People with kidney stones are particularly susceptible and should avoid celery. The diuretic effect should also be kept in mind. If in doubt, it is best to consult a doctor.

The Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) also warns about the furocoumarins contained in celery. These plant substances have a phototoxic effect and make the skin sensitive to light.
Anyone who eats a large amount of celery or drinks it in the form of juice is more sensitive to UV rays. According to the BfR, just 450 grams of celery is enough to cause sunburn.

Tip: Instead of drinking celery juice pure, simply mix it with other vegetables or fruits. Our liquid salad, for example, also contains kale, apple and cucumber.

If you're looking to buy ready-made celery juice , you'll probably find it most quickly at an organic market. Some supermarkets also now offer it. However, the rule is: the fresher and higher quality, the better. That's why we focus on organic quality and offer our freshly pressed I·DO organic celery juice in a convenient 3-liter bag-in-box. Thanks to the tap, you can easily and conveniently dispense the recommended amount of organic celery juice daily from your refrigerator.

Would you like to try it yourself and are you looking for a celery juice recipe ?
The popular drink is easy to prepare with just one ingredient - provided you have a juicer handy. The best option is a slow juicer, which first chops the vegetables and then presses them against a sieve with slow rotation.

Here's how it works: Get yourself a bunch of organic celery - 400 grams yields about 350 ml of juice. Wash the vegetables thoroughly and chop them roughly. The pieces then go into the juicer's feed shaft. Now press them into the juicer from above and let the device work its wonders. Et voilà: your home-pressed celery juice with full power is ready!
