Hi Tim, welcome to the forum.

Have absolutely no idea!

Was aware that celery juice is suppossed to be good for everything from healing ("curing") allergies to cancer, haemorrhoids to gall stones through arthritis, rheumatism, high blood pressure,sexual dysfunction and hangovers!!!!

If everything is to believed it sounds pretty marvellous..... but curing bacon!? Where did you pick up on this idea?

Welcome, Tim!  As Manx says, give us some clues/background and maybe we can conjure something up . . .

Yes, I had a quick look after I posted and nothing. High in potassium and a few other bits and bobs of information but nothing helpful.

Could be a spoof!?[}:)]

Did'nt see mention of Applegate Farms in your last post, interesting, perhaps an email to them might enlighten us? The website is:

www.applegatefarms.com

Their products seem to be all organic/natural after a quick look at their website, the sunday brunch bacon does indeed contain celery juice..... be interesting to know the logic behind it although this quote I found somewhere else on the web may provide the answer?

<blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">Nitrates can be found to some extent naturally in Spinach, Eggplant, Beets, Lettuce, Turnip Greens, Green Beans, Radishes, Celery, and Collards.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">

Quite how much celery juice you would need to get a tangible nitrate concentration for a preservative effect I have no idea!

I thought someone might be pulling your leg Tim, apologies, I was wrong![:I]
