So I avoided celery in the summer because celery contains furanocoumarins which are chemicals that cause your skin to be more sensitive to sunlight. But it occurred to me that those might actually be beneficial in the winter.
Celery has nicotine. I can't find how much. It also is very low in calories, full of micronutrients, and replete with fiber. It has a low glycemic index.
But then I also rediscovered garbanzo beans (in hummus).
It turns out that hummus actually manufactures acetic acid in your gut, so when you pair it with a choline source like eggs or shrimp you get acetylcholine.
Hummus also reduces your appetite and tastes great on celery. I've been mixing hot sauce, turmeric, and Ceylon cinnamon in the hummus for extra punch!
Read about all the micronutrients that garbanzo beans have, including cysteine, phenylalanine, arginine, and tyrosine:
