PARSLEY

Along with various herbs such as mint, basil, oregano, thyme and dill, parsley is widely used in the Mediterranean cuisine. Pleasantly aromatic, it is an herb that goes well with many dishes, from soups to omelettes. Essential ingredient for the tasty green sauce, it is also suitable for adding an aromatic and colourful touch to first courses, main courses and side dishes, such as potatoes and beans.

Parsley contains a good amount of vitamins C, E and A, and many minerals, especially calcium, iron, magnesium and phosphorus. It is an excellent natural anti-inflammatory, with remineralising and diuretic properties.
