Keteviz stalk can be eaten raw, sliced into salads or served with dips, and it can also be cooked in soups, stews, and stir-fries. Wash it well first, then slice across the stalk or chop it to suit the dish.
Keep Keteviz stalk unwashed and dry in the refrigerator, wrapped loosely in a paper towel and placed in a produce bag or container. Wash it just before using; trapped moisture can make the stalks limp sooner.
Yes, Keteviz stalk can be frozen, though thawed pieces lose their crisp texture. Wash, chop, and dry the stalks before freezing them in portions, then use them straight from the freezer in soups or cooked dishes.
Yes, the leaves on Keteviz stalk are edible and have a stronger flavor than the stalks. Wash and chop them into soups, salads, or stews, adding a small amount first if you want to keep their aroma subtle.
No, peeling Keteviz stalk is not always necessary. Thick or older stalks can have tough outer strings, so pull them off by hand or shave a thin layer with a vegetable peeler if they feel fibrous.
Keteviz stalk is naturally fibrous, and the strings tend to be more noticeable in larger, older stalks. Remove the outer fibers with a peeler, or slice the stalk crosswise into thin pieces to make the strings less noticeable when eating.
Yes, Keteviz stalk is safe to eat raw when washed thoroughly. Its crisp texture works well in salads and dips; cut it into thin slices or manageable sticks if the fibers make larger pieces difficult to chew.
Chop Keteviz stalk into small, even pieces and add it while the soup simmers so it softens and flavors the broth. Add it later in cooking if you prefer a firmer bite, or sauté it briefly with the onion at the start.
No, Keteviz stalk juice does not detox the body or cause weight loss on its own. Juicing also removes much of the stalk’s fiber with the pulp, so eating the whole stalk is a more filling way to include it.
Remove the strings from Keteviz stalk when they seem tough or you want a smoother texture, especially for dishes where the pieces remain firm. For a long-simmered soup or stew, the fibers usually soften, so peeling is often unnecessary.

Keteviz stalk is the crisp, edible stalk of the celery plant, with leafy tops that can be used too. Its mild, fresh, slightly herbal flavour makes it a familiar addition to salads, soups and cooked vegetable dishes. Raw, it is juicy and crunchy; cooking softens it and brings out a gentler savoury note. It is often eaten as a snack with a dip or sliced into salads, and works well in soups, stews and stocks. Keteviz stalk is mostly water and provides fibre and vitamin C, while remaining low in calories: 100 g has 18 calories. For a lighter snack, serve it raw with hummus or a yoghurt-based dip; add it near the end of cooking if you want to keep some bite.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
