Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'The uses of Parsley are many and are by no means restricted to the culinary sphere.

The most familiar employment of the leaves in their fresh state is, of course, finely-chopped, as a flavouring to sauces, soups, stuffings, rissoles, minces, etc., and also sprinkled over vegetables or salads.

The leaves are extensively cultivated, not only for sending to market fresh, but also for the purpose of being dried and powdered as a culinary flavouring in winter, when only a limited supply of fresh Parsley is obtainable.

It is useful in gonorrhea and strangury, with great irritation of the parts, with heat, or a scalding sensation on passage of urine, and can be given during the inflammatory stage.

Natural Herb Teas that are Good for You and the Environment.

Parsley (petroselinum crispum) is best known as a plate garnish whose use is not only decorative, but also works as an after-dinner breath 'mint' to reduce mouth odor.

This is due to Chlorophyll, abundant in fresh parsley, which does indeed absorb odors.

Parsley is also a good source of iron and trace elements needed for good health.

Parsley is one of the oldest and longest used herbs known to man.

It was described in a Greek herbal written in the third century B.C. and is probably a native of the eastern Mediterranean area, though its exact origin is not known.

In ancient Greece, Parsley was placed in wreaths given to winning athletes because the Greeks believed that the god Hercules had chosen Parsley for his garlands.

Today,in addition to a garnish, Parsley is used extensively in food preparation to enhance the flavor of meats, fish, fowl, eggs, and vegetables.

Ingredients:Parsley.
