Parsley Herb Plant ☘️

Photos by me ☘️

Parsley can be easily grown from seed on a windowsill and thrives outdoors as well. We add the finely chopped stem and leaves to our Italian pasta dishes, stews and soups. Chewing on a sprig of fresh parsley will freshen the breath, so it combines well with garlicky dishes.

The herb is a nutritional plant with impressive health benefits and antibacterial properties. It has high levels of antioxidants which can protect against cell damage. Vitamin K supports bone health and vitamin C fights against cancer. The compounds and vitamin A in parsley can aid eye health. Folate (B vitamin) protects the heart.

Our coriander (cilantro) and parsley plants sit next to each other on our kitchen windowsill and I have to rub the leaves and smell them before I can tell them apart.
