It’s timely to give some thought to parsley, since it is one of the first herbs to appear in spring. And it has ancient associations with health and strength. In fact, the Romans believed that nibbling on parsley springs would enable them to drink more wine without becoming drunk! While that may not be true, parsley has many real benefits for our health. Find out what they are:
Raw parsley cleanses the blood, dissolves sticky deposits in veins, maintains elasticity of blood vessels, facilitates removal of moderately sized kidney and gallstones, treats deafness and ear infections, and benefits the sexual system. And chewing parsley prevents bad breath!

I think cumin is my favorite spice. I always add at least twice the amount called for in recipes!

good to know
wow, would not have guessed.
Fortunately, parsley is easy to grow - I love it in soups and salads and scrambled eggs - years ago, I came across a recipe for parsley soup which was called "Potage Sante", or "Health Soup" - definitely worth growing this herb, even if it's only in a pot on your balcony!
yum! reminds me i have some pasta that needs parsley.
