Description

Parsley is far more than just a garnish. In fact one of the main reasons it began its career as a garnish was to freshen breath after a meal. It contains flavonoids which counter disease causing agents. Thus it may be a preventative for certain kinds of cancer. It has a higher level of vitamin K which helps calcium absorption but also can increase clotting ability so if you are on blood thinners be careful with the amount of parsley you ingest. Parsley may also help lower blood sugar and reduce fat cells in the blood. Its tiny flowers are also a major attractant to beneficial insects which can help control many undesirable insect populations in your garden.
