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 plants in the Umbelliferae family. Although there are around 30 different types of celery, the most well-known type is "true celery". This is divided into celeriac, cut celery and celery root. You may know the latter type better as celery sticks or celery stalks - the typical light green stalk that is used for soups, juices, etc.

When we talk about celery juice, we mean the liquid extracted from celery sticks, which is achieved by cold pressing. We at I·DO also rely on this gentle process:
Since the food is never heated, temperature-sensitive substances such as vitamins, minerals and secondary plant substances are preserved. So you can be sure that our celery juice will have its full effect! 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 contains a lot of potassium

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

• Sodium too

is central to nerve impulses. It is also needed for heart rhythm and muscle work. 100 g of celery contains about 82 mg of it.

• beta-carotene

(Provitamin A) strengthens our cells and protects the immune system. It is so valuable because our body cannot produce it itself. If you eat 100 g of celery, for example as cold-pressed juice, you are supplying your body with 270 µg.

• As a powerful antioxidant, vitamin C eliminates

free radicals and thereby protects the cells from damage. It is also involved in many metabolic processes and is therefore a central component of a healthy diet. The umbelliferous plant contains around 3.1 mg of it.

• Vitamin K ,

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

• antioxidants ,

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

Even if the effect of organic celery juice , as Anthony Williams attributes it, has not yet been scientifically proven, the many positive ingredients speak in favor of eating the green vegetable. As is often the case, the effect on health must be tested individually. So just give it a try 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 are not allergic or sensitive to the drink. Celery juice is also particularly suitable for a juice cleanse or as a supplement 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 want to buy ready-made celery juice , the quickest place to find it is in the organic market. Some supermarkets also now offer the juice. However, the rule of thumb is: the fresher and higher quality, the better. We therefore rely on organic quality and offer our freshly squeezed I DO organic celery juice in a practical 3-liter bag-in-box storage pack. Thanks to the tap, you can get the recommended amount of organic celery juice every day from your refrigerator at home, easily and simply.

By the way: Our I·DO organic celery juice comes from controlled organic cultivation and is mixed with a splash of lemon juice. This means that the green vitamin booster stays fresh longer and tastes even better!

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!
