Celery Root...a healthy, low glycemic root!


During winter, we move to eating more roots. In this vein, here’s a suggestion: Think about using celery root instead of potatoes or at least mashed in with your potatoes. Why? Celery root has similar consistency to potatoes, but are far healthier. They are a great source of dietary fiber, vitamin B6, magnesium, potassium and manganese, and a very good source of vitamin C and phosphorus. They have a lower glycemic load than potatoes, which means they lower your blood-sugar response.
