Celery from Baiteng Lake

Celery from Baiteng Lake

　　　Baiteng Lake was reclaimed in the early 1970s, and its soil consists of delta alluvium, which is highly suitable for celery cultivation. In 1985, the Baiteng Lake Modern Agriculture Development Company introduced celery varieties, and the planting area has since expanded to 3,000 acres, with an annual yield of 25,000 tons. The main variety grown is Utah.

　　Celery is rich in nutrients, containing fiber, minerals, and volatile celery oil, and is known for its blood pressure-lowering effects, earning it the title of "health vegetable of the 21st century." The “Baiteng Lake” brand celery is grown in a pollution-free ecological environment and is produced strictly according to green food standards. In March 2000, it received a Green Food Certificate from the China Green Food Development Center. With large heads (1.5–3 kilograms), fine fiber, tender texture, and a deliciously smooth flavor, it is highly popular with consumers. It is also easy to store and suitable for long-distance transportation. The harvesting season runs from November to April each year. The product is sold across the province, as well as in major cities such as Beijing, Tianjin, Shenyang, and Zhengzhou, and exported to Hong Kong, Macau, and Southeast Asia.
