In the kitchen, Parsley underlines the flavor of foods without being dominant, and compliments almost every dish. All Parsleys are a rich source of vitamins, including Vitamin C. They are also high in iron and other minerals and contain the antiseptic chlorophyll, making it a beneficial as well as attractive garnishing herb.
Parsley is an ideal herb for growing in containers. It is happy living inside on a sunny but cool windowsill, as long as it is watered, fed and cut regularly. Curly Parsley is very attractive grown in hanging baskets.
Curled Group (Petroselinum crispum crispum) The most popular type for garnishing, with finely cut, tightly curled leaves. Strong aroma and flavor.
Plainleaf Group (Petroselinum crispum neapolitanum) Favorite type because flavor is extra rich. Adds true European character to soups and stews.
