It's tempting to buy the big bag of celery at Costco but you'll seldom use it all by the time it starts to fade. If you wrap the celery in a plastic bag and then wrap that bag in aluminum foil you can get a much longer refrigerated shelf life.

According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, celery seed is a natural diuretic. Diuretics remove excess fluid from your blood, reducing stress against your arterial walls and lowering your blood pressure. This doesn't mean you should trade your medication for celery stalks, because more research is needed to prove the effectiveness of celery to control blood pressure.
