Parsley has been around for over 2,000 years and was considered a medicinal plant up until the Middle Ages. Today, it is a very popular aromatic plant whose chopped leaves are used as a condiment to enhance the taste of crudités, salads, soups, sauces, as well as vegetable and meat dishes. It is also used as a garnish. There are many varieties of parsley, the most common being curled or leafy parsley, flat leaf parsley and Italian parsley. Its leaves are rich in vitamins A and C. Parsley is also rich in essential oil, which is obtained by stream distilling its seeds.
