Curly Parsley is a biennial plant with bright green curly leaves, strong stems and strong plants perfect for urban home gardens. The curly leaves are very good for sauces, soups, stews, and especially salads. This popular herb also reduces the need for salt and is rich in iron, vitamin A and C, and multiple B vitamins.
Parsley has a deep symbolic connection with humanity since ancient times. Classical Greece was part of the victory wreath they prepared for athletic competitions, and the Romans included it in bridal sprays to ward off evil spirits. In medieval Europe, it was thought that it could only be successfully bred by pregnant women and witches. It was once considered a symbol of death and was used as a funeral plant. On the other hand, it serves as the spring symbol for the constant renewal of life on the plate of the Passover Seder.
