The plant isn’t gigantic but the thick, juicy leaves are full of flavor. I used to think there weren’t big differences in parsley flavor. Can be a culinary band-aid if too much sage, garlic (is that possible?) or hot peppers are used. Rich in Vitamin A, C, iron, and magnesium.

Parsley update: some curled varieties now have flavor, as well as good looks and breath cleansing qualities. Mark demands this variety. Best used fresh but frozen works. (See our Basil Intro. for freezing information.) Goes with anything short of sweets but, dried parsley?- forget it!
