This doesn't seem right: celery has 20g of fiber per 200 calories? Google estimates a 40g stalk of celery as having 6 calories, so we are talking about 1.333kg

This doesn't seem right: celery has 20g of fiber per 200 calories? Google estimates a 40g stalk of celery as having 6 calories, so we are talking about 1.333kg to get 20g of fiber. That means it is only 1.5% fiber by weight. Anyone think that is off?
- pkaye 9y agoThey should have really done it by fiber per weight. It would hard for anyone to eat >1kg of celery. Practically speaking, I hink the berries are the best in this regard.
- Someone 9y agoCelery is 95% water, so that 1.5% is 30% of the rest. Also, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celery#Nutrition https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celery#Nutrition agrees, saying it has 1.6% fiber.
