Parsley is probably the most popular and versatile herb available. It has a very mild, fresh flavour.
The Greeks used Parsley to crown victors at the Isthmian Games. It was also a symbol of death and scattered over tombs. The Romans were the first to use Parsley as food and ate it like lettuce. The Romans believed Parsley worn as wreaths around their necks prevented drunkenness. Parsley has always been linked to the occult. It was believed that the seed germinated slowly because it had to go down to the devil and back seven times before it would grow. An old saying goes ‘Where Parsley thrives, the missus is master’. Fresh parsley can also be eaten to take away the smell of garlic from your breath.
Available in 25g jar.
