Parsley

Parsley is not just for decorating a main dish, it should be consumed! Parsley is rich in potassium and yet can be used as a good diuretic. Parsley won't deplete the body of potassium when used as a diuretic. It is high in vitamins A,B and C. Parsley has a high iron content and is also high in chlorophyll. Good for digestion; so next time when you see this curly green plant on the plate, try a bit after the meal. Good for the breath, too.
Note:Disclaimer at bottom of blog-list.
I add parsley to all my salads, soups and gravies. Parsley tea is good also, very mild. Make sure leaves are free from sand, wash carefully, pat-dry on paper towel. I also dehydrate the parsley for future use.
