Parsley, known as “persil” in French, is a vibrant green herb commonly used in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and European cuisines. It belongs to the Apiaceae family and is highly valued both as a garnish and a key ingredient in dishes like tabbouleh, sauces, and soups. Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, parsley offers strong antioxidant properties that support immune function, eye health, and bone strength. It also contains iron, folate, and small amounts of calcium and magnesium. Parsley is low in calories and can enhance digestion, acting as a natural diuretic to reduce bloating. While its overall health benefits are impressive, excessive consumption should be moderated due to its naturally occurring oxalates, which may affect individuals prone to kidney stones. Whether used fresh or dried, parsley adds a refreshing, slightly peppery flavor to meals while boosting their nutritional profile.
