A soft…moist…fresh…chewy…chocolate chip cookie. Mmmmm! Mmmmm! Mmm! Now, just give it a slight hint of warmth… Mmmmm! What if someone could get celery (so healthy; so good for you; so rich in nutrients, vitamins and minerals; so low in calories) to taste like a fresh-out-of-the oven chocolate chip cookie?
