Parsley

Parsley

EverydayFresh

Parsley is a fresh culinary herb available in two main varieties – the curly leaf type commonly used as garnish, and flat-leaf (Italian) parsley preferred for cooking. This vibrant green herb is surprisingly nutrient-dense, offering concentrated amounts of vitamins C and K along with antioxidants like lutein, despite typically being used in small quantities. The flat-leaf variety has a more robust flavor that stands up well in cooked dishes, making it a staple in Mediterranean cuisine for enhancing soups, sauces, and grain salads while adding minimal calories.
