Food Facts:

Celery was once grown primarily for medicinal reasons, particularly by the Chinese. It has been prominent in Northern European cuisine since the 16th century. It is said that it takes more calories to eat and digest celery than there is in the celery. It is related to carrots, parsley and parsnips. Celery is high in vitamin C and potassium.

Thyme is a herb native to southern Europe. It can be used in many savoury dishes. Thyme is popular in French seafood dishes and in Italian tomato dishes.
