Parsley

Whew...That'S an Amazing Plant Right There...and to Think We Usually Just Sprinkle it Over Food to Add a Little Color..Parsley Is Most Commonly Used as a Garnish More Than Anything Else, but That'S a Shame, as it Is a Tasty, Nutritious Food. An Excellent Source of Vitamin C (Actually 3x as Much as Oranges), Twice as Much Iron as Spinach (What SHOULD Have Popeye Been Eating?), Vitamin A, Copper and Manganese, a Useful Digestive Aid and a Breath Freshener!
