the 'stems' and leaves? thanks.

just made veg soup for tea and mollie was wheeking so much when i cut the celery! :)) she is on a low calcium diet and mainly lettuces as her main fresh food for the moment, but by the noise i'd guess she would really love some celery leaves aswell :))

i think actual celery is because one piece is included on the IC diet but not sure about the leaves. if i could find low calcium leafy things then i'd prefer that (aslong as she can tolerate them of course) but i know most leafy things are higher in calcium generally.

she was so cute stood at the bars wheeking though :luv:

Ooh making me drool!
 
Yup, celery leaves are higher in calcium than celery stalk itself. Moderation only for them with Mollies bladder, have been following her thread with interest. x
