Celery tastes salty because it naturally is. Celery has a high amount of sodium for a vegetable, but it is a source of natural sodium that may help with electrolyte balance.

Don't confuse celery (the vegetable- Apium graveolens) with celery salt.

Celery doesn't contain salt.

It absorbs it from the soil. All veggies and herbs have some tiny amount of salt but celery has more than others.
