Uses
Parsley adds color, and thus visual appeal, to many foods. It is
used in egg dishes, soups, stews, stocks, and with other herbs to
bring out their flavor. Parsley is popular in Middle Eastern cuisine
and the spice blends of fines herbes, bouquet garni, and pestos.
Origins
The principal sources of Parsley are the United States, Canada,
Germany, Belgium, Hungary, Spain and France.
Folklore
Parsley was used to flavor and garnish food as early as the third
century B.C. The name "parsley" comes from the Greek word
petros, meaning "stone," because the plant was often found
growing among rocks. In ancient times, wreaths were made with parsley
and were worn to prevent intoxication. Parsley was brought to the
New World by the colonists.
