Green parsley is a vibrant, leafy herb known for its distinct flavor and versatility in global cuisines. Native to the Mediterranean, parsley is a staple in dishes from Italian pasta sauces to Middle Eastern tabbouleh. It’s rich in vitamins A, C, and K, which support eye health, boost immunity, and aid in blood clotting. Parsley is also an excellent source of antioxidants like flavonoids, helping to combat oxidative stress. Its natural diuretic properties may promote kidney health and reduce bloating. Additionally, parsley contains folate, essential for heart health and cell function. With minimal calories, parsley is a healthy choice to enhance flavor without adding fats or sugars. However, individuals with certain conditions, such as kidney stones, may need to moderate their intake due to its oxalate content. Whether used fresh as a garnish or blended into recipes, green parsley adds both nutrition and a refreshing note to meals.
