Celery juice

Celery juice is the liquid extracted from celery stalks. It is produced by washing, chopping, and pressing the celery to release its natural juices. The resulting liquid is often filtered to remove solid particles.

Celery juice is primarily used as a flavouring ingredient, imparting a savoury, slightly salty taste to foods. It is commonly found in vegetable broths, stocks, and savoury snacks, where it enhances the overall flavour profile. It can also be used in some beverage formulations for its distinct taste.

Celery juice is not considered a food additive and does not have an E-number. It is naturally present in celery and is consumed as part of a normal diet. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have not specifically evaluated celery juice as a separate entity for food additive purposes. While celery is a source of vitamins and minerals, consuming large quantities of celery juice may lead to increased intake of natural compounds, the effects of which at high levels are not extensively documented.
