Pink celery is real. Is it actually better?

Pink celery is a vibrantly-colored Chinese vegetable that resembles rhubarb in color and structure.

For patients fighting pancreatic cancer or stomach ailments frequently face a total loss of appetite, severe nausea, and an inability to tolerate solid foods, Pink Potato soup is a great meal. Pink celery is loaded with antioxidants, flavonoids, and polyphenols to fight inflammation.

Quite a bit.

We were honored to see Harlem River Farms highlighted by at in a story about its PLUS program, which takes future physicians beyond the classroom and into Houston communities.
