PARSLEY BENEFITS



Garnish

(Keywords: PARSLEY BENEFITS, Vitamin K, chiropractic help, Tabbouleh, authentic hummus recipe, bulgar wheat, eggplant)

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...

Parsley is really so easy to grow. In a pot, or just in your garden, choose a sunny spot, and give it plenty of water. It's a rich feeder, so make sure your have oodles of compost, and well-rotted manure if you want giant healthy parsley plants.

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 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 ...

  • Tabbouleh

    Tabbouleh Bulgar Wheat is, after Parsley Benefits Scrambled Eggs, my favourite parsley dish. If you already have the bulgar, it's dead easy to make ... the best solution to your raised cholesterol. Along with fish, "CHOLESTEROL ALCOHOL" - red wine, garlic, eggplant ... we will explain better ways, tastier ways, cheaper ways, no-side-effect-irritable-legs ways ... need more convincing?

    And then of course parsley benefits is one of the main ingredients in any authentic hummus recipe. Make it in only 4 minutes!

    Why at Chiropractic Help? Because when I need to bully a patient, they may have a bruise or two. Particularly in the treatment of groin pain, if the adductor magnus or the pectineus is in spasm, I may leave a bruise or two!

  • Eggplant, hummus and avocado

    Parsley is such a versatile herb, used in many different dishes. I like it fresh, very finely chopped, on an avocado salad. Read here about probably the healthiest fruit, along with the olive: AVOCADO BENEFITS ...

    Eggplant, known in Europe as aubergine and brinjal in the world where the Indian culture has had an effect, is something of an acquired taste. It's used in Middle Eastern and the subcontinent cuisine extensively for it's subtle flavour and cholesterol-lowering properties.

    Baby brinjals are dynamite with garlic and chillies, but ratatouille is very benign and easy to cook as you can see at these easy eggplant recipes ... with plenty of added parsley benefits.

    Then of course there is our favourite Baba Ghannoush and yet more Eggplant recipes , after Hummus nature's best for lower cholesterol >>>

    If your cholesterol is raised, then this AUTHENTIC HUMMUS RECIPE ... is a must in your kitchen. Make it in five minutes. Eggplant, apples, hummus and oats need to be daily on your menu.

  • GROWING GREEN BEANS

    Parsley benefits do not include protein. You can spinkle your steak, scrambled eggs... but how about a bean dish. Nothing easier than growing pole beans. GROWING GREEN BEANS ...
