A refreshing summer side dish to appetize - tofu mixed with celery leaves

Overview

When many people eat celery, they only eat the stems and throw away the leaves. In fact, nutritionally speaking, celery leaves are many times more nutritious than the stems, and they also have the effect of inhibiting cancer. Nutritionists once conducted 13 nutritional tests on celery stems and leaves and found that 10 of the nutritional components of celery leaves exceeded those of stems. Therefore, celery leaves are more nutritious than celery stems. The habit of eating only celery stems but not celery leaves should be changed.
