Celery
Celery is a good source of natural sodium, providing a naturally salty flavor to salads. It is an excellent base for juices due to its high nutritional value and low sugar level compared to other common juice bases.
According to the Environmental Walking Group, of the 43 most common fruits and vegetables, non-organic celery has the 4th highest amount of pesticide residue. If organic celery is not available in your area, you may wish to avoid it entirely.
