Health Benefits of Parsley

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 used to be a parsley snob. I really didn't think it added any value. NOW, I must be one of its biggest fans. Love it love it love it. Put on just about everything and it's yummy in salads. Also delicious - slice up tomatoes, chop some garlic, parsley, salt & pepper and drizzle a little olive oil. Eat with crusty bread. mdiddleyyum

I use parsley in almost everything I make. I put it in canned soups, mashed potatoes, breads, and even on popcorn! I just love its fresh, not grassy flavor, and it's very mild.
