RuthieZ Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 So is celery powder bad for you? Is it a natural nitrate? I keep reading contradicting information so I'm confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted January 21, 2017 Moderators Share Posted January 21, 2017 For Whole30 purposes, nitrates and nitrites are not ruled out. Whether you choose to have them or not is up to you. Celery powder is used in curing meats because it is naturally rich in nitrates. Since this question usually comes up in the context of bacon (although it might applied to other cured meats as well), I'd encourage you to read the Bacon Manifesto for a little more information on this. It doesn't address the nitrate/nitrite question directly but might give you other points to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
