PARSLEY BENEFITS

Garnish

Parsley benefits are not widely known. Yes, as a garnish perhaps, but in reality that should be the least and last of parsley's uses. It's acclaimed as the most widely used herb, but going by the feasts that I frequent, most of it ends up in the trash, I suspect.

Do you really think the carnivore who ordered this huge steak also ate the parsley? I doubt!

The phenomenal power of parsley.

"The Americans grow more parsley than any other nation and discard over 50 per cent of it on their garnished plates. Little do they know that it produces one of the most seductive body odours, androstenone-based, for both sexes."

Dr Max Lake

Bruise easily?

Bruising is caused when the blood does not immediately coagulate. It is of course quite normal to have bruising after an injury, but if you bruise for the least reason - you almost certainly have a Vitamin K deficiency. And parsley is one of the richest sources of K.

"He did not care a stalk of parsley if I wandered all night upon the hills!"

Robert Louis Stevenson (Travels with a donkey)

In a pot, in the open ground...

Sprinkle the seed you have purchased in the Spring, and make sure the ground remains damp until they have shot proper leaves.

In the autumn, leave a few stems which will go to seed. Harvest some for the Spring, and allows some to seed themselves. In no time you'll have more than enough plants.

Here, 'She who must be obeyed' has beautiful parsely plants coming up in our garden... in a couple months we'll have a feast of parsely benefits.

Here they are just a few weeks later, and that after the slugs got into them one misty, wet night. Somebody told them about all the androgens in parsley...!

PARSLEY BENEFITS

Parsley and scrambled eggs

A rich sprinkling of freshly-chopped parsley benefits really makes a scrambled eggs dish. Wash and finely chop a couple parsley branches, removing the thicker stalks. Scramble up some eggs, and spread the parsley thickly over the eggs just before they are done.

Delish! The best reason to eat parsley is not because of it's rich source of Vit K (fibre too), not because it's a garnish, but because it tastes so cool. Be patient with your tongue, it takes time to retrain it from the delights of sugar, fat- and protein-rich foods. Slow food is an acquired taste ... they will, of course, add 10-20 quality years to your life.

Eggs are of course high in cholesterol, I love them but they do need to be eaten in moderation. See the effect of Exercise on Cholesterol ... along with a high fibre, salad, veg and fruit diet, cholesterol should hold no fears for you. Avoid the statins, instead enjoy our Olive Garden salad recipe ...
