Do you know that...?

The properties of parsley have been known for over 2000 years. Leaves, fruits and roots of parsley have been used in folk medicine for centuries. Fresh leaves of parsley are very useful and can be used as a component of a healthy diet. The root of parsley is used to treat cystitis and rheumatic complaints. Fresh vegetables, including parsley,  are a valued herbal remedy for menstrual pain. Common parsley is rich in provitamin A, vitamin C, mineral salts and iron.

Vitamins and minerals in the parsley (calcium, magnesium and potassium) have a positive effect on blood circulation and iron helps fight anemia. Parsley also helps to remove toxins from the body.

Vitamin A works well for vision, especially at dusk. One tablespoon of parsley supplies daily requirement for vitamin C. Therefore, it is worth adding it to dishes, especially during periods of weakening of the body (spring solstice). In addition, the parsley refreshes the breath.
