Umbelliferae, Parsley
Parsley;
Fan Yan Sui.
Petroselinum Crispum (Mill.) Nym. Ex A.W. Hill (Umbelliferae)
Description
Parsley, often used to garnish dishes
A hardy, erect glabrous biennial with a stout tap root. Rosette leaves
are in dense tuft, dark green shiny, 3-foliolate. Leaflets are 1-2 cm
long, lobed and often much crisped. There are two varieties described,
one with crowded dense curled leaves (called moss curled) and another
with deeply cut plain leaves.
Origin
Its original home is thought to be in Spain and Portugal and is equally
at home in the Mediterranean regions. It was introduced into Britain in
1548 from Sardinia and then taken to the New World. The Greeks used it
only as a medicine. Its use as an edible plant dates from Roman times.
Uses
The leaves are used as garnish to flavour sauces, stews, soups, omelettes
and stuffings. Locally, it is more commonly used as an ornamental to decorate
dishes. It is actually very rich in Vitamin C.
