Celery is considered a negative-calorie food, popular for weight management, and is rich in vitamins and minerals.
Evidence refutes the claim that celery is a negative-calorie food, as it contains calories and the calories burned during digestion are minimal. Celery is indeed rich in vitamins and minerals such as vitamins K, C, and A, as well as minerals like potassium and magnesium. Opinions about celery being popular for weight management are subjective and common, reflecting general dietary advice. Overall, factual claims about celery's nutrient content are supported by the evidence, while the negative-calorie claim is unsupported and considered a myth.

Celery is considered a negative-calorie food because it requires more energy for digestion and absorption than the celery itself contains.
Evidence shows that celery is not a negative-calorie food, as it does contain calories and the calories burned digesting it are minimal. It is a dietary myth that certain foods like celery result in a net loss of calories. Reputable sources such as Princeton Longevity Center and the TASTE article agree on this point.
