Can deer eat celery?

Asked by Wiki User

Deer generally do not eat fruit like cucumbers and becasue of their very complex stomachs should not eat any fruit that could ferment in their senstive digestive track. I suppose a very hungry deer might eat anything though.

What vitamin deficiency causes weird cravings like celery?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I vote for low blood iron (i.e. anemia) as the culprit. I have been eating cornstarch for approximately six years. The cravings started early in my pregnancy with my youngest son and, after starting on the prescribed prenatal vitamins and some heavy duty iron tablets, the craving subsided and the cornstarch didn't taste quite so yummy. I'm not sure which prescription resolved the deficiency, or if it was a combination of the two, but after about a week of taking the prenatals and iron, the cornstarch wasn't so appealing anymore.

AnswerHere is a cure for your cornstarch cravings and anemia:

Your local Asian supermarket will have frozen beef and pork blood available. Put a tablespoon of the blood in each serving of hot soups, chilis and stew. Beef and pork blood is obviously very high in iron. Your anemia will be gone within a few days of daily use.

Drink raw fruit smoothies. Put fresh or frozen fruits in blender with almond or soy milk (NO DAIRY or sweeteners) and add 1 teaspoon of chlorella or alfalfa powder. Pulse and blend. Drink. It's tasty and healthy and it will detox you.

That's all you need to do. I've been free of the cornstarch addiction for 5 months now and I don't miss it. And I'm losing weight.

As a side note: 95% of African-Americans are very allergic to dairy products. Consuming anything with lactose (like milk, white sauces, creams or cheeses) will lead to intestinal bleeding. Losing blood in the stool causes anemia. Dairy is not your friend!

Which causes limp celery to get crispy when soaked in fresh water?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The answer to the second part is: It doesn't need to be placed in tap water but your finger turns wrinkled after being left in water for extended periods of time is due to the process of osmosis, or the transfer of water through a permeable material (i.e. water, cloth, a teabag). In simpler terms when the amount of water is unequal on either side of the permeable material then the water will transfer to equalize

Is a celery a monocot or dicot?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Celery, Apium graveolens, is a dicot. It is in the parsley family (Apiaceae or Umbeliferae), along with other notable dicots like the carrot. It has several characteristic features of a dicot, including vascular bundles in a ring around the center of the stem, or pith, flower parts in 5's, a prominent taproot, and leaves with a branching network of veins. Celery is commonly mislabeled as a monocot, though the reason for the misunderstanding is unclear.

Why does celery taste salty?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If celery is good quality, such as celery that is organically grown, it can have a salty or even a slightly sweet taste. I'm munching on some celery right now that tastes salty. No condiments required, and it is high in non-soluble fiber. I've even read that digesting celery burns more calories than it contains...

What taste does celery have?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Celery, like some forms of lettuce, has a mild acid content that gives a tart, tangy, flavor. It is sharper than a sweet pepper , but has a flat, watery aftertaste. Celery is normally used for its crunchy texture in salads. When refrigerated, it will sometimes turn "rubbery" and tough. If not too far gone, ice water can refresh it. If you have an option, green peppers will generally keep longer without loss of crunch. (Either should be kept in a produce drawer and prevented from drying out.)

How do you know when celery is ripe fresh and high quality?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

To determine this, use your senses of sight, smell, and touch. First look at the celery. The color of the celery stalks should be a consistent and light green in color thoughout; the leaves will be a slightly darker color green. The stalks should be free of blemishes and brown spots, and the leaves on the end should look fresh, not wilted. If the leaves are cut off at the end, this is often a sign that the celery is not fresh since grocery story produce clerks sometimes cut off wilted leaves to extend its shelf life at the store. Also the cut end of the bunch of celery should be dry and clean, not slippery or slimy in anyway. Next, using your thumb and forefinger, grip and try to lift the bunch of celery from the middle of one stalk. Fresh celery will be rigid and stiff, and will lift without too much effort, although it may be heavy. If the stalk bows or arcs between your fingers and is flexible, then the celery is not fresh. Finally, smell the celery. Fresh celery should smell, well, fresh. You should be able to detect a subtle celery aroma, but not odors of mold or mildew. They grow vertically in the dirt so some earthy smell, especially at the base of the bunch, is to be expected.
