Parsley is a flowering plant native to the Mediterranean. It’s widely used as a fresh culinary herb or dried spice. It’s bright green in color and has a mild, bitter flavor that pairs well with many recipes.

Parsley has been used to treat conditions like high blood pressure, allergies, and inflammatory diseases. It also prevents cancer, improves bone health and protects against diabetes.

The herb is rich in many vitamins, particularly vitamin K. Parsley is also a great source of vitamins A and C.

Fill a jar or a water glass partially with water and place the stem ends of the herbs into the water in the jar. If you are storing the herbs in the refrigerator, cover loosely with a plastic bag.
