Manganese

Celery and cucumber, whether eaten whole or juiced whole, boost your manganese intake. Two medium celery stalks, or about 100 grams (g), provide 0.076 milligrams (mg) of manganese.

One-third of a cucumber, which is about 100 g, contains 0.085 mg of manganese per cup.

Why is that important? Manganese activates proteins your body needs to form blood clots, helps regulate your metabolism of glucose and lipids, and plays a part in bone formation and reproduction, among other functions.

According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the recommended daily allowance (RDA) for manganese is 1.8 mg for adult females and 2.3 mg for adult males.
