Authentic Food Of The Week For Kids: Celery!

Perezitos.com's nutrition expert Margaux J. Rathbun wants to help parents feed their kids with the right foods by showcasing a specialty food every week.

This week, it's all about celery!

Margaux says:

"This crunchy green veggie has always been a favorite food for kids! It's so portable, virtually tasteless, and can pair well with yummy peanut butter. Did you know that celery offers a lot of great nutrients that will help keep your kids healthy and happy? Celery is high in potassium and calcium, which makes it a great food for promoting health bones in your kid's body. Celery is also full of compounds that will help to protect your kids from inflammation, making it a great food if your kid tends to get a lot of bumps and bruises. The dark green stalks and leaves on celery are rich in important minerals and vitamin C, a vitamin to help your kid's immune system stay strong. Celery is also high in fiber which makes it a great food for promoting a healthy digestive system and regular bowel movements for your child."
