I used to crave celery and ate up to 3 heads of it a day for about 6 years. 2 months ago I was diagnosed with severe iron deficiency anaemia and have been taking iron tablets and find I no longer want to eat celery! I have just read somewhere that pica (cravings) is often for crunchy food, and that people who are iron deficient sometimes have these cravings.
A likely component of the solution that causes the celery stalk to wilt is a high salt concentration. Salt draws water out of the cells of the celery through the process of osmosis, leading to the wilting of the stalk.
Chili cravings may indicate the need for iron and vitamin B. There is also quite a bit of vitamin C in the tomato sauce.
Saltwater (a hypertonic solution) with the celery cells (a hypotonic solution) causes a concentration gradient where the water from the celery will escape into the hypertonic solution, shrinking the celery in a process known as plasmolysis.
When limp celery is placed in pure water, it undergoes a process called osmosis. Water moves from an area of higher concentration (the pure water) to an area of lower concentration (the cells of the celery, which have a higher solute concentration). This movement of water into the celery cells causes them to swell, restoring the celery's crispness and firmness. As a result, the celery becomes turgid as the cells fill with water.
Salt water and sugar water are hypertonic solutions, meaning they have a higher concentration of solute than inside the celery cells. This causes water to move out of the celery cells, leading to wilting. Plain water is a hypotonic solution, so water moves into the celery cells by osmosis, making the celery more firm and crisp.
== == because the water makes the celery's cells go flaccid (stiff or erect) and that is why celery goes hard after being in water.
The causes include power syndrome peer influence poor upbringing wanting popularity or respect quest for materialism craving for love or acceptance and curios for protection
