Parsley is one of the most nutrient packed greens out there!
Parsley
A Most Flavorful, Nutritive Green
Parsley is more than just a garnish; it is a flavorful, nutrient-rich green. Parsley is a relative of celery and was once referred to as “rock celery”. Mostly we see parsley as a garnish and used for good breath following a meal. You may be surprised to know that parsley contains Vitamins K, C, & A; folate; iron; copper; potassium; magnesium, fiber, calcium; manganese; phosphorus; zinc; and vitamins B3 & B1. Parsley is like the unsung hero of the vegetable world. I use parsley all the time in many dishes: meatballs, pesto, on sandwiches, in smoothies, in salads, in soups, in stews, in falafels, on chopped on top of brussel sprouts or asparagus, and countless more… Not only does it taste great, it is packed with vital nutrients.
Bought some of your basil through Mendocino Food Hub and made a batch of pesto…yummm!
