Parsley is a species of petroselinum that is widely cultivated in the Mediterranean region. It is commonly used as an herb in cooking due to its high nutritional content, including vitamins K, C, and A, as well as iron, copper and potassium. There are over 30 varieties of parsley available. Growing parsley at home is recommended so the fresh leaves can be used in cooking year-round.
