PARSLEY!!!

Parsley's a lot more than a garnish!

🌱Parsley is a member of the carrot family and there are more than 37 varieties.

🌱The two varieties we see most often are the curly leaved (most often used as a garnish) and flat leaved Italian parsley.

🌱Italian parsley tends to more tender and have a stronger flavor than curly leaved parsley.

🌱Parsley has a sweet, tangy flavor that helps bring out the flavor of other herbs in soups and stews.

🌱It can be added to soups, stews, salads, dressings, and omelets. It can also be made into a tea.

🌱I try to add it to everything I can because it has so many health benefits!

🌱 It facilitates oxygen metabolism.

🌱 It cleanses the blood.

🌱 It dissolves sticky deposits in the veins.
