PRODUCER EXPORTER PARSLEY
Parsley is the world's
most popular herb. The origin of its name is from the
Greek word meaning "rock celery".
A sprig of parsley can provide much more than a decoration
on your plate. Parsley contains two types of unusual
components that provide unique health benefits. The
first type is volatile oil components-including myristicin,
limonene, eugenol, and alpha-thujene. The second type
is flavonoids-including apiin, apigenin, crisoeriol,
and luteolin.
There are more than 30 varieties of parsley, but the
most common are curly-leaf and the more pungent flat-leaf
parsley. The flat-leaf has more flavour than curly parsley
and is preferred for cooking.
