❓ Rapid-Fire FAQ
Does it just taste like celery? The celery seed gives it a distinct savory, celery-like spice, but it’s balanced by the tart apple and bright lime. It’s more like a refreshing, savory tonic than a sweet fruit smoothie.
Where do I find celery seeds? You can find them in the spice aisle of any supermarket.
Is this better than just eating celery stalks? Celery seeds are much more concentrated in certain compounds (like phthalides) than the stalks, so they provide a more potent diuretic effect for this specific purpose.
