Is celery a flower?!
Answers: I know broccoli and cauliflower are but is celery one?
Yep, it's a flower, and we eat the stalk/stem part. It's part of the carrot family of plants though, so it's got more in common botanically with other veggies than with flowers you're have in the garden.
What Alex said about negative calories is a well-circulated myth though (the idea that there are less calories in celery than calories you burn while eating it) - the truth is celery does have more calories than it takes to eat it, but very very few ... something like 6 kilojoules. It IS one of the lowest-calorie foods you can consume, and anyone on a diet is usually told you can eat as much celery as you like, since it's practically all fibre and water.
Celery, in fact, is indeed a flower. The stalk is what we eat, and the flower is on top. Celery has negative calories. The more you eat, the less calories there are in your body. Actually, your body only absorbs 10% of the stalk. the rest is hard fibers and they go right through your digestive system.
yes, like most veggies, it is a flower. we just eat the stalk of it =]
