Italian Parsley

 
Italian parsley is widely used in many culinary dishes and pairs well with many recipes. All parts of the plant are edible and delicious added at the end of the cooking process to enhance flavours. Italian parsley is less bitter than it's relative; curly parsley. The plant leaf looks similar to coriander and is often mistaken however the fragrance and taste differs, making identification much easier. Very high in vitamin C, parsley has more vitamins than oranges!
